Jannik Sinner will return to competition in just one month at the Rome Masters 1000. Meanwhile, the Australian Open champion continues to watch his rivals battle it out while he remains comfortably seated as the world No. 1.

He has just reached his 44th week atop the ATP rankings, surpassing Gustavo Kuerten’s 43 weeks. Sinner is now the 13th player in men’s tennis history with the most weeks as world No. 1.

If he aims to overtake Jim Courier, who holds 58 weeks at the 12th spot on this list, he will now have to wait another three and a half months.

Sinner Jannik

2e, 11500 points

Kuerten Gustavo

Non classé

Courier Jim

Non classé

How did they compute his weeks away while on suspension?

@ad6771
As for the other players: dropping the week points earned in 2024 and adding the week points earned in 2025, i.e. ... none.
Even so, Alcaraz has already missed the opportunity to overtake Sinner as world #1 before his comeback in Rome. Zverev still has a narrow chance.

... and a few hours later Sinner is out of reach also for Zverev (thanks to Berrettini!).

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

The paradox dividing tennis: exhausted players and a saturated calendar, yet ever more exhibitions

Exhausted but omnipresent stars, ever-longer tournaments and exhibitions that have become a business in their own right: tennis is revealing its deepest contradictions, torn between spectacle and physical survival.

From Boris Becker to Yannick Noah via Marat Safin, they all share one thing in common: knowing how to bounce back after the end of their careers. Between coaching, politics, music and podcasts, discover how these former champions have turned their passion into a new life.

Training future champions: spotlight on the decline of the French public model facing private academies

Arthur Millot 06/12/2025 à 13h10

As federations struggle to reinvent themselves, private academies are capturing talent… but also families able to invest tens of thousands of euros a year. A system that is increasingly effective, but also increasingly unequal.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
