Jannik Sinner’s remarkable 2024 season culminated in a dominant victory at the Nitto ATP Finals, securing his first year-end number one title. The Italian prodigy’s triumph marked a historic achievement, becoming the first player outside the “Big Three” of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic to finish a calendar year with a 90+% win-loss percentage in the 21st century.
Sinner’s season was a testament to his exceptional talent and unwavering determination. He started the year with a maiden grand slam victory at the Australian Open, defeating Djokovic in the semifinals and becoming the only player to not face a single break point against the Serb in a grand slam match. He went on to win the Miami Masters and, despite injuries that hampered his summer, finished the year on a high note with victories in Montreal, the US Open, Shanghai, and the ATP Finals.
Sinner’s dominance extended beyond grand slams, as he also won three Masters 1000 titles and the prestigious “Six Kings Slam.” His 72-6 record, good for a 92.1% win-loss percentage, is a testament to his consistency and ability to perform at the highest level.
Sinner’s season was not without controversy, as he faced a doping allegation ahead of the US Open. However, the Italian’s remarkable achievements on the court overshadowed the off-court drama.
Sinner’s 2024 season ranks among the greatest in tennis history, comparable to the legendary campaigns of Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal. His ability to win sets in every single match played in a calendar year at just 22 years of age bodes well for an incredible career at the highest level.
