"Tsitsipas equals Nastase's 40 weeks as Nº1"

As the Indian Wells Masters 1000 progresses and we delve into this month of March, Jannik Sinner continues to count down the days until his return to the professional circuit. The Italian will not compete again until May, but he keeps adding days at the top of the world rankings. This Monday, for example, he has reached 40 weeks as number 1, a milestone previously achieved by Ilie Nastase, tying with the Romanian in the fifteenth historical position. Next week, he will equal the 41 weeks of Andy Murray and soon surpass the 43 weeks of Gustavo Kuerten. Will Zverev or Alcaraz be able to halt this ascent?

Jannik Sinner ties Ilie Nastase as the man with the 15th most weeks as world #1 in history.
