Jannik Sinner will play in tomorrow's Davis Cup final, a week after winning his first Masters title. The Italian could end his incredible 2024 by winning the event for the second time in his career.

And when he talks about an exceptional year, the world No. 1 has been racking up statistics in recent days.

Thanks to his victory over Alex De Minaur in the Davis Cup semi-finals, the Italian now has his 18th win of the season against a member of the Top 10.

Only Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have managed to win so many times against Top 10 players in a single season.

The Serbian achieved this feat in six consecutive seasons between 2011 and 2016, Federer twice in 2004 and 2006 and Nadal just once in 2013.

Sinner joins a prestigious list after a year in which he dominated the ATP circuit.
