Jannik Sinner's season has been incredible: titles, milestones and records, the last of which links him to the Big 3 Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. The Italian has won 8 titles in 2024, including the Australian Open, the US Open, Miami Open, Cincinnati Open, Shanghai, Rolex Masters and ATP Finals. His numbers and statistics are clearly constantly updated, bringing him closer to the Big 3.

Jannik has in fact been able to beat top 10 tennis players 17 times this season: a record that in the past has only been achieved by Nadal (2 times), Roger Federer (4 times) and Novak Djokovic (8 times).
We recall Jannik also broke several records, during the ATP Finals and, moreover, he guaranteed himself to remain ATP No.1 at least until the end of the Australian Open 2025 and, presumably until mid-February, regardless of what happens at the Happy Slam or regarding the Clostebol doping-issue.
The ATP No.1 won one of the most prestigious and coveted tournaments for any tennis player on Sunday: the ATP Finals, which sees the best 8 in the world compete. The Italian beat one after the other and graduated for the first time in his career as year-end Maester champion, in front of a stadium packed with friendly crowds, who cheered him from start to finish.

Sinner, after this incredible success, expressed all his joy, analyzing in a press conference: "I'm very happy, finishing the season here in this way playing like this makes me happy. I arrived early to prepare the tournament in the best possible way and I'm really satisfied to have finished better than how I started. I try to analyze the mistakes. Only by combining talent and work do you become an important player. A talented player who doesn't work probably loses to someone who isn't talented but works hard. That's how I think. Being myself as a player, together with my staff. It will be a different year, but I'm not worried. Here I also felt the affection of the public who really gave me so much."
