Jannik Sinner finished the year as the world number 1, a rank he reached in June and has since refused to let go of. The Italian became the first from his country to achieve such a position, solely due to his great work and performance. It was already foreseeable that the player from San Candido would reach the summit one day, as he had been warning his rivals of his consistency. With a total of 11,830 points in the ranking (a difference of almost 4,000 points from Alexander Zverev, number 2), the Italian will face a challenging 2025.

Sinner has won 8 titles this season, including two Grand Slams. Therefore, he faces a new year filled with great demands if he wants to defend each of them, or at least a portion. Let's start with the Australian Open, just around the corner, so to speak. It was his first Grand Slam, and Jannik will have to defend a major for the first time in his career. He will head to Melbourne without playing any previous tournament, as he did this year. Later, he will have to travel to Rotterdam to try to defend 500 valuable points.

Next comes the Sunshine Double, meaning Indian Wells and Miami back to back. During this phase, Sinner will have to defend the title in the second stop, as only Carlos Alcaraz managed to stop him in Indian Wells. Following the titles achieved this year, the next tournament he must defend is Halle, where he secured his first significant victory on grass. This would be the fourth crown to defend, although he will also have ample opportunity to accumulate points in tournaments he did not participate in, such as Rome, or improve other results.

A true number 1 from head to toe

Next in line will be the Cincinnati Masters 1000, the US Open, and Shanghai, three tournaments that suit him perfectly due to their conditions and surfaces, although his arrival there will be very interesting to see. Will he remain number 1? In the final stretch of the year, he will have the opportunity to defend his first ATP Finals, one of the most prestigious events of the year and one we remember vividly. Let's not forget the Davis Cup as well. Thus, after this quick overview, we see how Sinner has dominated an outstanding 2024, a feat that will be very challenging to surpass next season. And what do you think? How many titles do you believe he will defend or what others would you add to his list of achievements?
