Jannik Sinner on the Cusp of a Historic Tennis Achievement
Italy’s Jannik Sinner is poised to etch his name in the annals of tennis history. The 22-year-old tennis sensation is already being hailed as the best player in men’s singles tennis. Sinner’s phenomenal season has all but guaranteed his status as the world’s top-ranked player in 2024, with a staggering points difference of over 3,000.
As Sinner prepares to take on Australia’s Tallon Griekspoor in the Davis Cup, he stands on the threshold of achieving a unique milestone. If he manages to avoid a straight-set defeat in this encounter, Sinner will become only the second player in the Open era to complete a full season without losing a single match in straight sets. The only other player to have achieved this feat is the legendary Roger Federer, who accomplished it in 2005.
Sinner’s remarkable season has been marked by several notable triumphs. He clinched his first major title of the year at the Australian Open, where he edged out Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling five-set final. Sinner then went on to claim the US Open title, defeating America’s Taylor Fritz in straight sets. His most recent major victory came at the ATP Finals, where he once again bested Fritz in straight sets.
Sinner’s ascent to the top of the tennis world was formalized during the French Open, when he became the world’s number one player following Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal from the competition due to a knee injury. As Sinner prepares to take on Griekspoor in the Davis Cup, he stands poised to etch his name in the record books and cement his status as one of the all-time greats of tennis.
