5 Roger Federer records that could be impossible to beat

#1 Longest gap between first and last time being world #1

Federer became World #1 again at Rotterdam in February 2018

Not only did Federer become the oldest World #1 in 2018, he also broke the record for the longest time between first becoming number one and last becoming number one.

The previous owner of this record was Nadal who has managed a 9-year gap between his first and last stints as number one.

Whilst this is an impressive record it pales in comparison to Federer's record of 14 years between his first and last stints at No. 1.

This is currently a WTA and ATP record, however, if Serena William's manages to return to world #1 then she could break this record, nevertheless it will still be an ATP record and when considering that no one in the men's game has ever maintained such a high level of tennis as Federer has done.

In addition, this record illustrates that Federer has consistently been the best or one of the best players on tour for nearly 15 years and when considering that most of the generational talents before Federer only managed to do this for 10 at best demonstrates how uniquely brilliant Federer is and that there is no guarantee that we will ever see a future player capable of breaking this record.
