Jannik Sinner ready for the final rush of 2024

Jannik Sinner ready for final rush in 2024

Jannik Sinner is set to face the’last part of a 2024 in which he has literally dominated the competition with his impressive continuity of performance, which is even more impressive because the South Tyrolean has endured some very difficult months due to the risk of a doping disqualification, which at the moment è completely averted.

The world number 1 this year has won all the finals he has played, six out of six, including the Australian Open and US Open, and overall he has won 55 out of 60 matches, 91.6 percent. On Monday he will be at the top of world tennis for the 16th week, as many as Daniil Medvedev and four fewer than a legend like Mats Wilander, while Carlos Alcaraz è still far behind at 36.

Next week is the China Open, the ATP 500 on Beijing’s indoor cement, and it is from here that Sinner will resume his triumphant ride to end the year as world No. 1. Should he make it, as seems quite a foregone conclusion, he will be the 19th° tennis player of the’Open Era to do so.

Jannik will have to defend 1,000 points between Beijing and Vienna, tournaments both won last fall, plus another 1,000 points for the Turin ATP Finals final he lost to Novak Djokovic. In the Shanghai and Paris-Bercy Masters 1000s, on the other hand, he came out in the round of 16 in both cases, racking up 180 total points, so he will have a chance to earn a lot of them if he goes very far ahead in the draw in those tournaments. And then, even if they don’t bring points, there will be the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga.
