Sinner dépasse Hewitt et entre dans le 'top 10' historique des numéros un

Jannik Sinner continues to add minutes at the top. The Italian today reaches his 81st week as world number one, a number that surpasses Lleyton Hewitt, who held the top spot for 80 weeks, placing Sinner alone in the tenth position of the ATP's historical ranking of leaders.

The Italian's next target is now Andre Agassi's 101 weeks. If he achieves this figure, Sinner will become the tenth player in history to surpass the 100-week mark as world number one, a record reserved so far for a very select group of tennis legends.

The historical ranking is overwhelmingly dominated by Novak Djokovic. The Serbian leads the list with 428 weeks at the top, far ahead of Roger Federer, who amassed 310, and Pete Sampras, with 286. The extent of Djokovic's dominance illustrates the challenge that Sinner is building towards. With 81 weeks at number one, the Italian has already surpassed names like Hewitt and is steadily approaching other historical figures. His next challenge, Agassi's 101 weeks, stands 20 weeks away.

Plenty of room for Jannik Sinner to continue adding weeks at the top

Sinner has reached this point in full consolidation as one of the great references in world tennis. His rise to number one has not only allowed him to conquer titles and maintain an extraordinary consistency but also to start establishing his name among the greats in history.

The figure of 81 weeks is already a new milestone for the Italian. The next frontier is clear: to reach 100 and definitively enter a historic club that, for now, only counts nine members.
