Jannik Sinner capped off an extraordinary 2024 season by winning the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, becoming the first Italian to claim the prestigious year-end title. In front of an electric home crowd, Sinner defeated U.S. Open runner-up Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the final, extending his dominance in their rivalry. The victory marked Sinner’s fifth major title of the year and sealed his position as World No. 1 for the season. It was also his first major title in front of his home crowd.
Key Highlights of Sinner's Journey:
Sinner made history as the first player to win the tournament without dropping a set since Ivan Lendl in 1986. He defeated Fritz in both the group stage and the final, showcasing his tactical superiority and mental resilience.
Sinner's stellar campaign included two Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and the U.S. Open. His success at these tournaments demonstrated his adaptability and consistency across surfaces.
The Italian also secured two ATP Masters 1000 titles earlier in the year, solidifying his status as the best player on tour. Sinner won an astonishing 70 matches in 2024, losing only six. Remarkably, he won at least one set in every match he played, a feat only paralleled by legends like Novak Djokovic.
