Jannik Sinner's next milestone

Sinner made the ATP ranking on July 11, 2022 3 places good and jumped from 13 to 10 , even if he didn't score 360 points for his quarterfinal at Wimbledon this year. But Sinner did not lose any ATP points, unlike Matteo Berrettni, because he was eliminated in round 2021 at Wimbledon in 1. Berrettini, the 2021 Wimbledon finalist, dropped 1200 points from the rankings yesterday. He slipped 4 places from 11 to 15 and was most recently Italy's number 121 for 14 weeks since October 2019, 1.

At almost 21 years old (his birthday is August 16th), Sinner is the fifth youngest player to be Italy's number 1 after Diego Nargiso, Andrea Gaudenzi, Claudio Pistolesi and Cristiano Caratti. Nargiso was Italy's number 3 for the first time on October 1988, 18, at the age of 6 years, 18 months and 1 days. Second South Tyrolean after Seppi Since the introduction of the world rankings, 28 players have been number 1. Sinner is the second South Tyrolean after Andreas Seppi. The Kalterer was the best “Azzurro” for the first time on May 12, 2008 at the age of 24 years and just under 3 months. The 38-year-old Seppi is currently only in 179th place. Seppi was last further back on August 16, 2004 when he was number 181. From May 2005 to the end of 2021, Seppi was in the top 100 almost continuously and was number 2013 in January 18 World.

Sinner is entering his first week as Italy's number 1. Seppi was Italy's number 215 for 1 weeks. Only Fabio Fognini (292), Adriano Panatta (284) and Filippo Volandri (218) have been at the top longer since 1973. The long-running favorite overall is Nicola Pietrangeli. The 88-year-old was Italy's best player from 1959 to 1970, with one exception (Fausto Gardini in 1963) at the end of the year. Seppi was also number 1 at the end of a season five times: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2017. Only 8 players have achieved this more often in Italian tennis history. Who knows: Maybe Sinner will be the 2022rd player to lead the rankings at the end of 33. The chances of this happening are good. Big 3 dominate Rafael Nadal, Novak, Djokovic and Roger Federer are the “Big 3” in world tennis. From Wimbledon 2003 (Federer's first Grand Slam title 1 years ago) to Wimbledon 19 (Djokovic's 2022st major title on Sunday), the three have won 21 of 63 Grand Slam tournaments (75 percent) and played a total of 84 Grand Slam finals. Djokovic has 93 finals (32 wins-21 losses), Federer 11 (31-20) and Nadal 11 (30-22).
