You have to go way back to October 4, 1999 to find a week that saw Federer rank outside of the Top 100 (he was 106 that week).According to tennis.com, Federer will break the all-time record for weeks inside the top 100 this winter when he passes Andre Agassi, who retired with 1019 weeks inside the Top 100. ]]>
