World no. 1 Jannik Sinner is spending his 19th season on the ATP throne. Jannik has been the dominant figure in men's tennis this year, winning 65 of 71 matches and lifting the Tour-leading seven ATP titles, including five notable ones.

Jannik Sinner has won the fourth Masters 1000 of his young career in Shanghai, the third in his incredible 2024 streak of success. The Italian ace has won seven titles this year, including two Majors at the Australian Open and the US Open.

With the exception of his 2008 Australian Open title, losses to Nadal and Federer defined Djokovic’s career from that summer until 2011. Both beat him a couple more times each in the closing stages of majors between 2008 and 2010,

Tennis legend Boris Becker believes Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz can be defined as “the Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer of the future” respectively. The six-time Grand Slam champion explained that he makes this comparison “from a purely stylistic point of view” given Djokovic and Federer’s historic achievements.

In a surprising twist for tennis fans, Novak Djokovic has struggled all year to crack the code of Jannik Sinner’s serve, a challenge that has seen the Serbian legend unable to generate a single break point against the young Italian star in 2024.
