From 1973 to 1999 the ATP utilized a 52-week Ranking
System that now is used for the ATP Entry Ranking. The
ATP Champions Race provides an easier-to-follow calendar-year
race, culminating with a single year-end No. 1. The
figures below highlight the achievements of the players
over the past 29 years. Since Ilie Nastase first reached
No. 1 on the ATP Rankings on August 23, 1973, there
have been 25 different players to reach the No. 1 ranking.
