4. Feliciano Lopez (66)

Feliciano Lopez has made 68 consecutive Grand Slam Singles appearances since becoming a professional in 1997. With his 66th consecutive appearance at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, he broke a tie with Roger Federer.

2. Fabrice Santoro (70)
Fabrice Santoro, a Frenchman who played tennis for 21 continuous years between 1989 and 2010, was renowned for his durability.

His best Grand Slam performance came in the 2006 Australian Open quarterfinals. He had better results playing doubles and mixed doubles, where he won three Grand Slam tournaments. Santoro participated in 70 Grand Slam Singles overall.
Roger Federer (74)
