Top 10 isn’t shit in tennis, people only care about number 1 just like every other sport.
your pathetic attempt at word play doesn’t change that fact. Weeks at number 1 is the most important metric when determining dominance because it means you were consistently the best player in the world for the longest time.
nobody cares if you were top 10, why couldn’t you get number 1?
if you care about longevity, total titles is a better stat to represent that but even then it pales in comparison to weeks at number 1 because not all tennis tournaments are equal, some are far easier than others.
it seems you don’t understand the true objective goal of professional tennis which is why you can’t comprehend my argument
the sole goal of professional tennis is to earn as many ATP points as possible, the number 1 player does this making them the best.
