Is Roger Federer's 65 consecutive Grand Slams a record?

Sports Asked on August 13, 2021

In 2016, Roger Federer missed a Grand Slam for the first time in his career, the French Open. This was the first Grand Slam he had not competed in since the since 2000 Australian Open, i.e. 65 straight Grand Slams.

Is this a record? If it is, then what is the next highest number of consecutive slams played without a withdrawal?

One Answer

Roger Federer's 65 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments (2001 US Open - 2016 Australian Open) was indeed a record at the time of posting this question. Since then he was surpassed by Feliciano López, currently at 76 (2002 French Open - 2021 French Open) and Fernando Verdasco with 66 (2003 Wimbledon - 2020 Australian Open).

You should be able to find a list which is up to date in the Wikipedia article linked below.
