[edit] Bad title
This article's title Tennis - World No. 1 ranked Men doesn't follow WP:NAME at all, and it is also not precise (world no.1 adult, junior, disabled players?). Better choices would be:
- List of ATP Tour number 1 ranked men
- List of ATP number 1 ranked players
- List of ATP top ranked players
or something alike. No dashes, no arbitrary capitalized words, no ambiguity. If there is no reasonable objection, I will move the article to one of those. rbonvall 21:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- I support the change. I guess the new name would need to include the word "men". "Top ranked" could suggest anyone around the top 10 so "number 1" is necessary too. How about your first option but dropping the word "tour"?--GringoInChile 00:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- List of ATP number 1 ranked players seems better, I agree. I don't think the word men is necessary, since ATP is the men's association and WTA is the women's association. The same change has to be made to Tennis - World No. 1 ranked Women. Let's wait a couple of days for more comments. rbonvall 03:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

List of ATP number 1 ranked players is still a bad, awkward article title. The title should include the words tennis and men. I suggest these:
- Top-ranked men's tennis players (with an intro article explaining ATP system)
- List of top-ranked men's tennis players (with an intro article explaining ATP system)
- List of ATP top-ranked men's tennis players
[edit] Misc
a quick point: on that list of total weeks at no. 1 there is no Pete Sampras. does someone have the figures for how long Sampras was no.1? he has to be in the top 5 at least.--Binnor 13:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
You are right: he is actually #1, but someone put this guy, "Reyman Nicolas" at his place. This should be changed...--81.144.214.18 14:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
