Jannik Sinner’s mind-boggling 2024 season came to a close on Sunday as the Italian made history at the Davis Cup, helping send Italy to its second consetuive title.
A week prio, Sinner made more history in Turin at the ATP Finals, where he became the first Italian to raise the trophy in the 55-year history of the ATP’s prestigious season-ending championships, and the first player to win the ATP Finals without dropping a single set since Ivan Lendl in 1986.
Now that the dust has settled, we take a look back at some of the 23-year-old’s most stunning statistical achievements, by the numbers.
73 – Number of wins notched by Sinner this season, which is the most of any ATP player on tour since Andy Murray in 2016.
2 – Number of majors won by Sinner in 2024, at the Australian Open and the US Open. Sinner became the first Italian man to win a major since 1976 at this year’s Australian Open when he rallied from two sets down to defeat Daniil Medvedev in the final. At the US Open he became the first Italian man to capture the title in Flushing Meadows.
1977 – By winning his first two major titles in the same season, Sinner becomes the first player to achieve that feat since Guillermo Vilas in 1977.
38 – Number of years since a player has swept through the ATP Finals without dropping a single set. Sinner did something this week in Turin that not even Novak Djokovic could achieve during his dominant run of seven titles at the ATP Finals.
Ivan Lendl was the last player to win an ATP Finals without dropping a set, in 1986.
3 – By winning titles at the Australian Open, US Open, and ATP Finals, Sinner joins Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as one of just three players to have won that hard court trifecta.
2016 – Sinner is the first player to win an ATP Finals title on home soil since Andy Murray in 2016. He is the third player to have won the prestigious title on home soil this century – Australia’s Lleyton Hewitt (2001) is the other.
17 – Sinner led all ATP Players in Top-10 wins in 2024; he won 18 of his matches against Top-10 players.
53-3 – Sinner’s incredible record on hard courts in 2024. Only Carlos Alcaraz (Indian Wells, Beijing and Andrey Rublev (Canada) defeated Sinner on the surface. Sinner is one of six players – also Medvedev, Djokovic, Federer, Roddick and Hewitt – to win 50 or more hard court matches in a single season this century.
13-0 – Sinner was a perfect 10-0 on indoor courts this year, taking his career record indoors to an impressive 73-21.
29-1 – Sinner won 29 of his final 30 matches, winning titles at Cincinnati, US Open, Shanghai and Turin and only losing in the final at Beijing to Alcaraz.
8-1 – Sinner won eight of the nine finals he played to improve his overall record in ATP finals to 18-5.
