After the victory at the Miami Open, the young Italian has a statistic that unites him with the Swiss Maestro
Grigor Dimitrov also said it and, looking closely at the first three months of the season, the No.2 spot in the ATP ranking seems restrictive. Jannik Sinner is currently the best tennis player in the world. The data and statistics of 2024 say this, the year in which Jannik is obtaining the fruits of the work perpetuated in the last ten years.
The Italian won the Miami Open, thus gaining his third title of the season in just three months. And what titles! Australian Open, Rotterdam and the Miami Open.
And Sinner matched a Roger Federer’s milestone, in 2024. There is one piece of data to confirm it. Sinner is the first tennis player to win the Australian Open and Miami Open in a calendar year since for the first time since the Swiss Maestro, who did it last time in that magical 2017, when he won the Australian Open and Miami (and Indian Wells, completing the Sunshine Doubles)

Furthermore, the Italian has joined a small club of players able of winning the Australian Open and a title between Indian Wells and Miami, a figure referring only to the 21st century. In addition to the aforementioned Federer, there are Andre Agassi, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
Sinner demonstrated the progress and champion qualities that are now indisputable. The Italian did like Novak Djokovic: he rose to the next level at the most important moment. After a start to the tournament with some physical problems (also due to the crazy goal in Miami), from the semifinal in Florida with Daniil Medvedev, it was practically impossible to oppose his strength.
Jannik Sinner says his parents won’t travel to many tournaments, ‘For me, it’s more important if they’re happy’
“You talked about your parents, that they're still hard-working, blue-collar people that are still working.
Do you think with all the success you're having now that… pic.twitter.com/tE1yQlyive— The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) March 31, 2024
In fact, Jannik left three games to the Russian and then only four to Grigor Dimitrov in the final. And consider that the Bulgarian had been impeccable up to that point, from every point of view.
