He out-impresses himself, almost! He is not just a Hall of Famer, but they will have a Museum for him, or should, in Switzerland as a national treasure!
Here is to all those who don't appreciate Switzerla nd enough!!

Still the of the Kings!

This table and ranking is from the ATP website and took me aback so that I left a message. i trust it is only a comparison and not an attempt to revise the ranking, which was dominated, led by the number of GS titles achieved. Although they write of "majors" here for comparison, there is no way it is a correct comparison.
Winning anything, like a 1000 point ATP Masters event does not compare to a Grand Slam title. It does not matter that it is challenging to win the top ATP Masters title, because it is best of two sets. It can't be compared to a GS title, which is over two weeks and with more competitors, with much higher stakes. In fact, the 2000 points for GS titles is inadequate when compared to half that for the top Masters title.
It is as though the goal posts will be moved again, or they are trying to do it. It is not reasonable. Anyone who sees the GS tournaments knows that it is so.

^^^ I don't think they are trying to 'move goal posts' or somehow indicate that a M1000 is on par with a major in prestige. But there's no doubt that majors, M1000s, and the WTFs are the biggest tournaments of the year. Personally I'm very happy that they include the WTFs as Rafa fans love to dismiss that tournament because he's never won it. Heck, the WTFs is second only to a major and above a M1000.

[HeartoftheMatter]

Yes, the WTF is important, and although it is not like a GS title, it counts because it is among the top players.

This is fun… a super grapic!    Watch Roger go up the ladder!    

These are the players with most tiltes in the Open Era, by age. Nadal started young, Roger was a slow starter, but there is no stopping him now!

Active players are in red - retired in green.

That is fun! Thanks cromar!

[HeartoftheMatter]

Surprising and enjoyable with the music and marching on of years, and the change in places! Is it a minuet, or some other form of dance music ? Sounds vaguely familiar.
My gratitude, and also, bravo for such work!

[TuTi_fanofRFed]

After winning the RG QF, Roger now has at least 70 wins in each of the Grand Slam.

Soon his walking on the court for a match will in itself be a record!

[Cromar]

What a number!
