Recently, news of Del Potro's retirement has spread around the corner of the tennis world. At this point, there are also many data and lists about him.
Among them, there is a list that attracts attention: of all the players in the history of the men's tennis who have never reached the top of the world, who has beaten the world number one the most times?
Tim, Ferrer, Wawrinka, Ivanisevich, Magnus Larsson (Sweden), Tom Oko (Netherlands) – five times;
It is often said that the five-year-old generation gap, then on this list, it takes at least five times to have a ranking, and there are six people who have achieved this result.
Larson and Oko, two players that most fans are unfamiliar with, have also been specifically marked with their nationalities.
The others are all big, and the Grand Slam is not the champion or the sub-champion. Spain's stable male Ferrer, for decades as a day, ranked stable in the forefront of the world, and the world's first move many times, naturally won a lot of victories.
Thiem has been guaranteed to win Nadal at least once a year in clay tournaments for several consecutive years, including Federer in the Indian Wells Masters final and Djokovic in the French Open semifinals.
Wawrinka need not be introduced, his three Grand Slam ascents, all stepped on the shoulders of giants.
Djokovic's head coach Ivanisevic, as one of the few players in Grand Slam history who can win with a wild card, this legendary experience has given him a lot. But his hard power is not illusory, and it is evident that he can defeat the world first many times.
Rothko Tyner (USA) – six times;
The player won the 1977 Australian Open men's singles title and represented Uncle Sam's army in the Davis Cup.
Unfortunately, after making a name for himself, he squandered, quickly spent the prize money, and finally swindled, and won himself two years in prison.
Krajczek, Zhang Depei – seven times;
Krajczek holds a record: Wimbledon's tallest title to date. Such an advantage naturally allowed him to make his serve a success.
Chinese-American Zhang Depei is well known to everyone, and the youngest record of a Grand Slam men's singles champion so far is still held by him, and naturally he has beaten the world's first number of times.
Del Potro – ten times.
To paraphrase the current popular words, the advantage of three times can already be called a fault-type lead.
Judging from the recent comments around Argentines on social media, he can win the hearts of fans around the world, and it is more dependent on his own strength. (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
