This season will be remembered for various reasons in the world of tennis, but it should always be immediately associated with a challenge to history by Jannik Sinner. The Italian could further enhance the impact of his performance this year by winning the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024, as he would become the fourth player to finish a year with four Masters 1000 titles.

Playing 71 matches and losing only 6 is a challenge to logic and a testimony to the idea that we might be witnessing the birth of a legend in the person of Jannik Sinner. This becomes even more significant when one realizes that he is just 23 years old and competing under enormous pressure due to the looming threat of a doping sanction hanging over him. With few major events left to compete in, the Italian has reasons to face the upcoming challenge with motivation as he could match a historic record by the Big 3.

Since the establishment of a calendar structure similar to the current one in 1990 and the category of Masters 1000 tournaments (although the nomenclature has evolved), only ten players have managed to win 3 titles of this caliber in the same season. Sinner is now part of this esteemed list following his victories this year in Miami, Cincinnati, and Shanghai. Matching the achievements of Edberg, Sampras, Agassi, Muster, Ríos, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray is no small feat, but the player from San Candido seeks even more.

One bullet remains in the chamber to add to his trophy cabinet and challenge history, as only three players have ever completed a season as champions of four Masters 1000 titles in the same year. This is an achievement within reach of the Big 3, which Sinner aims to conquer at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024, where last year he had to retire before the quarterfinals and now seeks to claim another major title.
