Becker was ranked No. 2 in the world for 109 weeks before finally reaching No. 1 on 28 January 1991, and he spent a total of 12 weeks in the world.
"You want to be a champion, you have to be willing to give everything, your whole life has to revolve around tennis, and nothing is more important than winning a match." "It's hard to keep that intensity up for a long time, but I think we all have this crazy mentality and do everything we can to win the game, whether it's 1 week, 12 weeks or 350 weeks, it's a great achievement," Becker said. ”
"Everything you have is because of tennis and it's important for the younger generation to remind them who paved the way, we don't always play for millions of dollars, I'm honored to give Sinner the year-end No. 1 trophy and I'm honored to be part of the world No. 1 and the other 28 are my heroes, it's very special and unique to be one of these players," Becker said. ”
The current world champion Sinner has been at the top of the world for 40 weeks, while Djokovic's 428 weeks is still the all-time high, with Federer second with 310 weeks.
