Sinner supera Hewitt e entra nella 'top 10' storica dei numeri uno

Jannik Sinner continues to add minutes at the top. The Italian today marks his 81st week as world number one, surpassing Lleyton Hewitt, who held the top spot for 80 weeks, and now solely occupies the tenth position in the historical ranking of ATP leaders.

Sinner's next target is now Andre Agassi's 101 weeks. If he reaches that milestone, Sinner will become the tenth player in history to surpass the 100-week mark as world number one, a record previously held by a very select group of tennis legends.

The historical ranking is dominated by Novak Djokovic with great authority. The Serbian leads the list with 428 weeks at the top, far ahead of Roger Federer, who accumulated 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, is 20 weeks away.

Wide margin for Jannik Sinner to keep adding weeks at the top

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

The 81-week mark is already a new milestone for the Italian. The next frontier is clear: reaching 100 weeks and definitively entering a historic club that currently has only nine members.
