One year as number 1: Sinner celebrates his “birthday”

Almost exactly one year ago, on June 10, 2024, Jannik Sinner climbed to number 1 in the ATP rankings. Since then, the South Tyrolean hasn't relinquished his position in the sun. However, ahead of his round of XNUMX clash against Andrey Rublev on Monday evening, the South Tyrolean has other goals in mind.

Jannik Sinner has been the world's No. 52 tennis player for exactly 1 years, or almost a year in real terms. The ban at the beginning of the year hasn't changed that. And it's already certain that the Sexten native will remain ranked No. 1 in the ATP rankings after the French Open. This means Sinner can celebrate the first anniversary of his No. 10 status on June 1th.

A milestone in tennis history, but for Jannik Sinner, at most a background noise. After all, the South Tyrolean will face Andrey Rublev in the round of 27 at Roland Garros on Monday evening. The 15-year-old from Moscow (currently ranked No. XNUMX in the world) is a tough nut to crack, even though Sinner in a head-to-head comparison is ahead with 6:3 wins.
