Jannick Sinner is Italy's first world No. 1!

With Novak Djokovic having withdrawn from his quarter-final match at Roland Garros due to a right knee injury, Jannik Sinner is now guaranteed to become the new world No.1 in the ATP rankings next Monday (June 10, 2024). At the same time, he will become the first Italian ever to reach the top of the ranking.

Although Djokovic's injury has precipitated matters, Sinner already had a very good chance of topping the rankings on Monday. To prevent him from doing so, the Serb would have had to win the title in Paris, while counting on Sinner losing in the semi-finals.
