After years of holding out against equal prize money, Wimbledon bowed to public pressure Thursday, Feb. 22, 2007,  and agreed to pay women players as much as the men at the world's most prestigious tennis tournament.  (AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus)DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Roger Federer is excited that he'll finally break the record for consecutive weeks as the top-ranked player in men's tennis on Monday.

"This is something that will stay with me for quite some time," the 25-year-old Swiss star said Sunday. "I think I will definitely keep it for the next three years, at least."

On Monday, the 10-time Grand Slam champion will be the No. 1-ranked player for the 161st straight week. That will eclipse the record set by Jimmy Connors from July 1974 to August 1977.
