[edit] Records of Roger Federer counting

Hi Makhan100,

I counted every week by hand. It looks tempting to just say 48 weeks left in 2004 after February 2, but you actually have to count it out, which I did on my phone. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8... and so on. Starting Monday, February 2, the first week was until february 8 and say... 11:59:59 pm. February 9 started the second week. So I did that every Monday, by the time I got up to February 4, 2008 it was 209 weeks, and 1463 days (February 1 was exactly 365 x 4 days after February 2, 2004)

I'm not trying to diminish Federer's weeks at number 1; I am a big fan of his and his matches. But I don't think the counting is correct - especially when you do it out by hand.

And for your reference that you pointed out, when it says "As of February 4. 2008..." that is completed weeks at number 1 (since it is a Monday also actually). It doesn't make sense to say he has been number 1 for a week when it is only the first day for example. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 18:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
