Sinner unchallenged, Djokovic out of the top 5 in the ATP rankings

Jannik Sinner, winner of eight titles in fifteen tournaments, closes his 2024 year in the best possible way by winning his first ATP Masters. This enabled him to consolidate his top spot in the rankings at the end of the year.

A fitting end to an almost perfect season. The Italian didn't drop a set at this edition of the Nitto ATP Finals. He also managed to win every major tournament on a "hard" surface: the Australian Open, the US Open and the ATP Masters.

Taylor Fritz, a finalist in Turin, defeated by the Italian in two sets (6-4, 6-4), moves up to 4ᵉ place in the ATP rankings, which represents his best ranking to date.

Novak Djokovic, with the end of the year marked by repeated withdrawals, finishes 2024 in 7ᵉ place in the world rankings. You have to go back to November 2022 to see the former world number one this low in the hierarchy.

The Serb ends this season without a single major title won (Grand Slam/ Masters 1000). It's enough to make you wonder just how good he'll be next season.
