There has never been a time when an Italian player went on to dominate almost the entire ATP Tour run and secure the Year-End no. 1 with a massive gap between other candidates. Now, Jannik Sinner now writes his name into the history books as he completes the feat of capping off his 2024 ATP Tour with a bang.

Jannik Sinner was emotional in the celebration as he was presented with the ATP Year-End No. 1 trophy in front of the Inalpi Arena crowd. Sinner has been an impressive star for most of the season and has enjoyed a massive campaign with impressive victories against the top stars in the game, which says a lot about the steady rise to dominance imposed by the Italian star.

So far, Sinner’s campaign has been one of the most historic climbs in the ATP Tour. He blew past the likes of Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Alexander Zverev in the middle of the season and held on to the top spot all the way to the closing tournaments of the year, taking a win one competition at a time. 

A Season to Remember

At the age of 23, Sinner is now the 19th player to earn the year-end no. 1 honors and is the force active player to finish with the award, joining only Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Rafael Nadal on that list. He earned the world no. 1 spot back on June 10th and has not given up his spot ever since and has kept the likes of Alcaraz and Zverev at bay for the rest of the campaign after that.

“It’s a nice feeling, it is special sharing these kinds of moments here in Italy with the crowd,” Sinner said after a memorable ceremony in which he was presented the award by ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi, former World No. 1 Boris Becker and Head of Corporate Brand and Strategic Advisory at PIF Mohamed Alsayyad. “This would not be possible without all the people I have around and especially these kind of people I want to keep forever, because it has a journey from the beginning.”

Sinner’s tennis team was joined by his family, friends, and parents. People in Turin were definitely hyped by their fellow Italian’s success. It is a special day, and Sinner is definitely pleased to see everyone rooting for his greatness in the game.

“It’s a great competition between this and Grand Slams,” Sinner said. “This is a very consistent trophy. You have to play one year very consistent tennis, so this is for sure a very, very tough trophy to get.”

Big Strides for the Italian

Jannik Sinner finished with a 65-6 record (excluding the ATP Finals) and has managed to win a total of seven titles in that span, including the recent Rolex Paris Masters. He has snagged a total of $12,032,935 in prize money, which says a lot about the promising rise to dominance that he’s had this year.

This year has been a massive ride for Sinner, and he is certainly slate to improve more in his game in the coming months with the way he has grown in this season alone. That being said, fans can hopefully expect to come up with more winning bets on the Italian star as he seeks to keep this consistent approach in the game now more than ever.
