Posted by Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Sunday November 17, 2024

Jannik Sinner’s sensational 2024 season came to an end on Sunday as the Italian made history in Turin by becoming the first Italian to lift the trophy in the 55-year history of the prestigious ATP season-ending tournament.

Now that the dust has settled, we take a look back at some of the 23-year-old’s most impressive statistical achievements, by the numbers.

70 – Sinner’s streak of wins this season is the most by any ATP player on tour since Andy Murray in 2016.

2 – Number of majors won by Sinner in 2024, Australian Open and US Open. Sinner became the first Italian to win a title since 1976 at this year’s Australian Open when he came from two sets down to defeat Daniil Medvedev in the final. At the US Open he became the first Italian man to take the title at Flushing Meadows.

1977 – By winning his 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 reached an ATP final without dropping a single set. Sinner did something this week in Turin that even Novak Djokovic couldn’t achieve when he won seven ATP Finals titles.

Ivan Lendl was the last player to win the 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 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 win the prestigious title at home this century – Australia’s Lleyton Hewitt (2001) being the other.



17 – Sinner led all ATP Players in the Top-10 wins in 2024, and won 17 of his matches against top-10 players.

50-3 – Sinner’s impressive record on hard courts in 2024. Only Carlos Alcaraz (Indian Wells, Beijing and Andrey Rublev (Canada) beat Sinner in the face. Sinner is one of six players – with Medvedev, Djokovic, Federer, Roddick and Hewitt – to win 50 or more hard court matches in one season this century.
