Davis Cup 2024 | Neither Nadal nor Djokovic: Sinner is the first tennis player to match a Federer figure that seemed eternal

Sometimes talking about Jannik Sinner can be a bit repetitive, but the Italian’s statistics after 2024 are, without a doubt, very difficult for any tennis player to match. The transalpine closes the season with a 92.4% wins in a total of 79 completed matches. Moving away from percentages, Sinner has won 73 victories and has lost only six times.

Since 1968, when the ‘open era’ began, only Roger Federer had completed a full season without losing a match in which he has not won a set. That was in 2005 and, in 2024, Jannik Sinner has managed to match this figure, which sounds like a practically indestructible tennis player in 2024.

Although the other fact that he has not been able to overcome is the 81-4 of Federer in that year 2005. During that season, the Swiss legend only lost against Marat Safin, Richard Gasquet, Rafa Nadal and David Nalbandian.

In the case of Sinner, this balance has been 73-6 and his defeats came against Carlos Alcaraz, on three occasions, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev.
