Jannik Sinner Caps Historic Tennis Season with Davis Cup Victory for Italy
The 22-year-old Italian becomes the first ATP World No. 1 from his country, achieving a record-breaking 2024 season while facing a doping appeal that could impact his career.
- Jannik Sinner completed the 2024 tennis season without losing a match in straight sets, joining Roger Federer (2005) and Serena Williams (2013) in achieving this rare feat.
- The Italian star compiled a 73-6 win-loss record, claimed two Grand Slam titles (Australian Open and U.S. Open), and won the ATP Finals without dropping a set.
- Sinner led Italy to its second consecutive Davis Cup title, securing the victory with a singles win over Tallon Griekspoor in the final against the Netherlands.
- He also became the first Italian to finish the year as ATP World No. 1 and won eight titles across hard and grass courts, showcasing his versatility.
- Despite these achievements, Sinner's career faces uncertainty due to a doping appeal by WADA, which could result in a suspension of up to two years.
