Carlos Moya another "almost" case:
Only 7 total weeks in the Top 3
[ 2 of them at #1...4 of them at #2...1 of them at #3 ]

Stats to support the argument that not every player who
"stalled at #2" was equally impressive in that particular regard:
Number of weeks at #2:
34 - STICH
17 - IVANISEVIC
29 - CHANG
14 - KORDA
02 - CORRETJA
06 - NORMAN
06 - HAAS
