Jannik Sinner ended his record-breaking 2024 year by winning his second consecutive Davis Cup. A season full of emotions and successes for the Italian tennis player, who leads the ATP rankings with a large lead over his pursuers.
Sinner, how long will he remain number one in the world?
Jannik Sinner, who has achieved immense success this year, is already looking ahead to 2025 with the aim of asserting himself at the highest level. The Italian tennis player is almost 4,000 points ahead of Zverev (currently second in the rankings) and is therefore certain to remain number one in the world even after the Australian Open, at least until February.
Jannik, who starts with 11,830 points, would retain the top spot in the rankings with 9,840 points if he were eliminated in the first round of the Australian Grand Slam, even if Zverev won the preparatory tournaments and the Australian Open. In this case, the German would rise to 9615 points and would still remain behind the Italian, just like Alcaraz. These discussions and calculations certainly don’t interest Sinner, who only has one goal for 2025: to play great tennis and win.

Sinner’s record year 2024
Sinner is the first player to ATP Finals and Davis Cup wins as world number one in the same year. He won a set in each of the 79 matches played (73 wins), which was previously only Roger Federer in 2005 and Serena Williams was achieved in 2013. Statistics that describe a magical 2024 in which he was truly difficult to beat. Alcaraz needed 3 hours and 24 minutes in the final in Beijing, Medvedev 5 sets and 4 hours in Wimbledon. The South Tyrolean never gives up. This is how the successes came from them Australian Open up to the US Openbeing the second Italian after Nicola Pietrangeli won two slams in one year. Not to be forgotten are the Masters 1000 (Shanghai, Cincinnati and Miami) and the 500s (Halle, Rotterdam).
Sinner’s final milestone
Jannik Sinner wrote another chapter in tennis history by winning his second consecutive Davis Cup in Malaga. The Italian tennis player has achieved another record-breaking achievement: he is the first player since the introduction of the ATP world rankings in 1973 to win the Davis Cup and the ATP Finals as number one in the rankings in the same year.
How much did Jannik earn?
Sinner earned $16,914,035 this year by winning 8 titles. In addition, there are 5.5 million from the Six Kings Slaman exhibition tournament in Riyadh that he won in October. Sinner’s total income this year is breathtaking: around 21.5 million euros.
When will Sinner return to the pitch?
The year 2024 from Jannik Sinner ended with success Davis Cup. He now has rest days that could follow the pattern of last season. Ten days break, short resumption of training in Spain in the warmth and then a longer break at Christmas to recharge the batteries with the family. So his fans will have to wait until 2025 to see him on the pitch again. The first official deployment will be the Australian Open which he will contest as defending champion. That’s exactly where his rise to the top of the ATP rankings began, when he defeated Medvedev in the final, who had been his feared opponent until then. Before that, there is the very real possibility of taking part in the Kooyong Classic, a hard-court exhibition tournament in the week before the Australian Open.
After the victory in Davis spoke Sinner in the press conference about the coming year: “I won’t promise anything. Every year is a different feeling. We are very happy to lift this trophy and of course go into the preparation phase with a lot of self-confidence.” He himself confirmed that he will allow himself a few days of well-deserved rest: “The season was very long, I would like to spend the holidays Enjoy circles of the right people.”
