The Italian tennis player won the final of the US Open and entered the list of tennis legends.
2024 is a special year for Jannik Sinner. The Italian topped the ATP rankings and won his first Grand Slam tournament, two at a time.
According to Opta, according to the latest indicators, he has become close to tennis legends. The fact is that previously only the legendary Americans Jimmy Connors (1974) and Argentinean Guillermo Vilas (1977) achieved this.
We remind you that Sinner won the US Open the day before, and just at the beginning of the season he won the Australian Open.
In addition, 2024 finally confirmed a generational change in men’s tennis. For the first time since 2002, none of the Grand Slam tournaments (Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open and Australian Open) was won by a tennis player belonging to the so-called “big four”, which includes Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafa.
In addition to the aforementioned success of Sinner, the titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon were won by the young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
