Paris – Now there are no more doubts: Monday 10 June Jannik Sinner will become world number 1. Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal due to physical problems before the Roland Garros quarter-final against Casper Ruud certifies the Italian tennis player’s overtaking of the 24-time Slam champion at the top of the ATP rankings. It is irrelevant, in this sense, the outcome of the journey of the twenty-two year old from South Tyrol in Paris, where he has already reached the quarterfinals thanks to successes against Christopher Eubanks, Richard Gasquet, Pavel Kotov and Corentin Moutet. Thanks to the magnificent results obtained in the last 365 days, Sinner will still become leader of the world ranking at the end of the Slam in the French capital.
“It is yet another record for the pupil of Riccardo Piatti first and of Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill now. Jannik – writes CONI on its website – driving force of the national team which in 2023 conquered the second Davis Cup in history, will be the first Italian No. 1 ATP, the icing on the cake of an extraordinary season in which he has already become the first Italian to win the Australian Open trophy. The only representative of our country to have reached the final of the ATP Finals (last year in Turin), Sinner crossed this prestigious finish line during Roland Garros, the last tournament valid for the ranking that will generate the entry list of the Olympic tournament and home to the Paris 2024 tennis matches.
