Jannik Sinner The best year of his professional career ended this Sunday in Malaga. The title won in Malaga with Italy in the Davis Cup closes a fantastic season in which he has lifted eight other trophies, with a record of 73-6. He is the first tennis player in history to win two Grand Slams (Australia and US Open), the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup in the same season.
He only lost one final in Beijing against Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated him two other times.in the semifinals of Indian Wells and Roland Garros. The other three defeats were against Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo, Medvedev at Wimbledon and Rublev in Canada. As a logical consequence, he ends 2024 as number one in the world. He is the second player in Era Open (since 1968) to finish a year with at least one set won in each of his matches, after Roger Federer in 2005.
“It has been an impressive course, I am very proud of the team, very happy to win this trophy again. “I am very happy to be back, it seems like we are in Italy”said Sinner in Martín Carpena. “It is a very important tournament for the entire country, there is pressure and the weight of having Italy on your shoulders, but we have handled it very well. If it wasn’t important, I wouldn’t be here. It means a lot to me. Last year, Matteo was not there as a player, and this year we share it with the group, it means a lot, I am very happy and it is an honor to be part of this”pointed out the redhead.
