He ATP ranking has a new leader, it is regarding Jannik Sinnerthe 22-year-old Italian tennis player who displaced none other than the Serbian from the place of honor Novak Djokovic who suffered a meniscus tear during his last match, which is why he had to undergo surgery.
Although she has expressed her satisfaction with this promotion, the young player assures that she has other objectives in mind.
“I’m in the middle of the season. There are very important tournaments coming up, there’s Wimbledon. It’s a huge achievement, which I’m going to celebrate with my loved ones at some point. I’m happy, it’s a dream come true, but I have new challenges ahead.” he proudly told the AP.
Sinner thus became the first Italian representative to achieve the ATP number one ranking since the introduction of computerized rankings in 1973.The new tennis player will be the top seed in the All England Clubwhich will begin on July 1.
With his new status, accompanied by his first Grand Slam trophy, which he won at the Australian Open last January, he believes that his rivals will view him differently.
“They have nothing to lose once morest me anymore, and I have everything to lose, but that’s the exciting part. And I like it… You have to find new solutions on the track and that will be my next step. I have to prepare myself to be more unpredictable on the track. That’s what I want to learn in the coming months.“, he said.
In 2024 alone, he has 33 wins and only three losses, with which he has achieved three titles..
And it is precisely two of his three defeats that were once morest the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, with whom Sinner has undoubtedly forged a great rivalry on the court.
The most recent was last Friday, when he lost in five sets in the French Open semi-finals. Alcaraz finished crowned by beating Alexander Zverev on Sunday.
“Hopefully we can continue to play once morest him for the next 10 years. He makes me a better tennis player. He makes me get up in the morning to improve.“, said the Italian.
Alcaraz’s third Slam title allowed him to move up one spot to second, behind Djokovic and Zverev.
