JANNIK SINNER REACHES NO. 1 IN THE PIF ATP RANKINGS, BECOMES FIRST ITALIAN TO TOP THE SPORT

LONDON - Jannik Sinner has today become the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings. He is the first Italian man or woman to reach World No. 1 in singles since computerised rankings were introduced in 197

The 22-year-old began the year at World No. 4. But with a remarkable surge to start 2024, highlighted by his first major title at the Australian Open, an ATP Masters 1000 title in Miami and semi-finals at Indian Wells, Monte-Carlo and Roland Garros, Sinner is now the 29th player to stand at the summit of men’s professional tennis.

“It represents a great result of work ethic. Me and my team, it was one of our goals these years. But the most important goal is always to improve as a player and as a person, surrounding myself with great people. I think I can be very happy and pleased with what I’m doing and what my team is doing," Sinner said. "In the last period I’ve played some really good tennis. I’m very happy to be in this position.”
