Jannik Sinner has become the Top 2-paid Red bull Driver at $192.7 million per year after signing retirement letter today…

Jannik Sinner has become the seventh world No 1 in the last two decades, but how did the previous six perform in their first tournament after hitting top spot in the ATP Rankings for the first time?

The 22-year-old became the first Italian to be crowned world No 1 with his ascend to the top confirmed on the back of his run to the semi-final of the French Open.

Sinner has enjoyed a fine season as he is 33-3 having won his maiden Grand Slam at the Australian Open as well as titles at the Rotterdam Open and the Miami Open.

His first tournament as world No 1 will be at the Halle Open and, naturally, he will be the top seed.

Sinner is looking to become the first world No 1 since Andy Murray to win their first tournament after hitting the top spot in the ATP Rankings. To be fair, there haven’t been too many No 1s since then.

Last six world No 1s and how they fared in first tournament after hitting top spot:
