Jannik Sinner matches Andy Murray! Who is his next target?
Jannik Sinner started his 41st week on the ATP throne on Monday. The 23-year-old matched Andy Murray on the list of no. 1 players in ATP history, becoming the 14th player to achieve that since 1973. More good news will emerge in the upcoming weeks!
Jannik will pass the Briton next week and move closer to Gustavo Kuerten, who ended his no. 1 journey on 43 weeks. With Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz losing ground in comparison to the Italian, Sinner will likely remain at the top until his return.
The three-time Major winner made an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) after testing positive two times for a banned anabolic steroid Clostebol in March 2024. He accepted a three-month suspension, missing four Masters 1000 tournaments ahead of his return at the home Rome Masters in May.
Sinner has been among the players to beat since the closing stages of 2023. The Italian has won 93 of his previous 100 encounters, conquering numerous notable titles and writing history books following an incredible run.
Jannik defeated Novak Djokovic two times within two weeks at the end of 2023 and finished the season in the top-4. He gained a boost and embraced a 73-6 run in 2024, leaving everyone behind and becoming the dominant figure of men’s tennis.
