Sinner Matches Borg in Consecutive Weeks as World No. 1
Jannik Sinner’s return to competition is fast approaching. In early May, the Italian will be back on the court at the Rome Masters 1000, where the crowd is expected to give him a very warm welcome.
In the meantime, Sinner continues to lead the ATP rankings, having secured his 46th career week as world No. 1 this Monday. This also marks his 46th consecutive week at the top, as he has not relinquished the top spot since first achieving it in June 2024.
This milestone allows him to equal Björn Borg’s record and enter a prestigious Top 10 list, where he now stands behind Andre Agassi (52), Rafael Nadal (56), John McEnroe (56), Lleyton Hewitt (75), Pete Sampras (102), Novak Djokovic (122), Ivan Lendl (157), Jimmy Connors (160), and Roger Federer (237).
