Jannik Sinner has officially announce the signing of a key player…
With a healthy lead in the ATP Rankings following a sparkling start to 2024 that included victory at the Australian Open, Rotterdam Open and Miami Open, Sinner’s position as world No 1 was not threatened by his quarter-final exit against Daniil Medvedev at Wimbledon.
So while Carlos Alcaraz may appear to be the best player in the men’s game right now after his back-to-back wins at the French Open and Wimbledon, Sinner still holds a commanding rankings lead over Alcaraz.
In fact, Novak Djokovic is Sinner’s closest rival in the rankings right now as the Serbian is 1,100 points behind Sinner in the rankings.
Alcaraz is 1,440 points behind Sinner in the race to be world No 1 and it may be hard for either of the chasing duo to catch the Italian if he shines at next month’s US Open.
Sinner was knocked out in the last 16 in New York last year by Alexander Zverev, which means he will be defending just 180 ranking points from that event this year.
After admitting he learned so much from that match against Zverev, Sinner has suggested he has taken his career to the next level since then.
