Jannik Sinner’s astonishing 2024 season ended on Sunday as the Italian made history in Turin by becoming the first Italian to lift the trophy in the 55-year history of the prestigious end-of-season ATP Championships.
Now that the dust has settled, we take a look at some of the 23-year-old’s most impressive statistical achievements, by the numbers.
70 – Sinner’s number of wins this season is the most by any ATP player on the tour since Andy Murray in 2016.
2 – Number of championships won by Sinner in 2024, at Australian Open and US Open. Sinner became the first Italian to win a major since 1976 at this year’s Australian Open when he rallied from two sets down to beat Daniil Medvedev in the final. At the US Open he became the first Italian to win the title at Flushing Meadows.
1977 – By winning his first two major titles in the same season, Sinner becomes the first player to achieve the feat since Guillermo Vilas in 1977.
38 – The number of years since a player has reached the ATP Finals without losing a set. Sinner did something this week in Turin that even Novak Djokovic couldn’t achieve during his dominant run of seven ATP Finals titles.
Ivan Lendl was the last player to win an ATP Finals without dropping a set, in 1986.
3 – Having won titles at the Australian Open, US Open and ATP Finals, Sinner joins Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as one of only three players to have won that hard-court trifecta.
2016 – Sinner is the first player to win an ATP Finals title on home soil since Andy Murray in 2016. He is the third player to win the prestigious title on home soil this century – Australia’s Lleyton Hewitt (2001) being the other.

17 – Sinner led all ATP players in Top-10 wins in 2024, and he won 17 of his matches against Top-10 players.
50-3 – Sinner’s outstanding record on hard courts in 2024. Only Carlos Alcaraz (Indian Wells, Beijing) and Andrey Rublev (Canada) beat Sinner on the surface. Sinner is one of six players – also Medvedev, Djokovic, Federer, Roddick and Hewitt – to has won 50 or more games on hard court in a single season this century.
10-0 – Sinner was a perfect 10-0 indoors this year, pushing his career indoor record to an impressive 73-21.
26-1 – Sinner won 26 of his last 27 matches, winning titles in Cincinnati, the US Open, Shanghai and Turin and losing only in the final in Beijing to Alcaraz.
8-1 – Sinner won eight of the nine finals he played to improve his overall record in ATP finals to 18-5.
