The course of the ATP circuit in 2024 seems to have been scripted by a Hollywood writer, with Jannik Sinner overcoming adversities and emerging as the absolute king of tennis right now. At just 23 years old and facing the possibility of a sanction hanging over him, the Italian has signed one of the best seasons of all time.

Over eleven months of frenetic activity, of achieved challenges, unexpected obstacles, and immense media pressure. That is what Jannik Sinner has had to face in a 2024 that is already part of tennis's golden history. The Italian had to forego competing in the Olympics, has had to fight in court to prove his innocence, has been exposed to public opinion for his positives and how his case was managed, and remains threatened by a possible sanction. However, none of that has stopped him from reaching glory.

- Sinner is the first player in history to win a Grand Slam, ATP Finals, and Davis Cup title in the same year

Two Grand Slam titles, champion of ATP Finals and Davis Cup, rising to world number 1 and ending the year in that position... There are many facts that support his greatness, especially considering he has become the second player in history to win a set in all matches played during a season, joining Federer in 2005, and the first to win the last two tournaments of the year (ATP Finals and Davis Cup) as well as at least one Grand Slam.

If all this is not enough to demonstrate his ironclad dominance, it is necessary to turn to a statistical aspect that can be an ideal thermometer to determine the best seasons ever seen in the tennis world. That is the percentage of matches won compared to those played. Jannik Sinner has played 79 matches in 2024, and only lost 6, with Tsitsipas, Rublev, Medvedev, and Alcaraz as his executioners on three occasions. This translates to a 92.4% victory rate, ranking as the ninth best record in history.

- This is the top-10 list of the best seasons in tennis history in terms of the relationship between matches played and won

  1. John McEnroe (1984): 82 wins and 3 losses - 96.5%
  2. Jimmy Connors (1974): 94 wins and 4 losses - 95.9%
