Sinner Secures Third Grand Slam, Sets New Records in Tennis History
At just 23 years old, Sinner has already amassed 19 ATP titles, the fifth-highest total among active players. Those with more titles—Alexander Zverev, Marin Cilic, Daniil Medvedev, and Novak Djokovic—are all at least four years older. On hard courts, only Medvedev and Djokovic have claimed more Tour-level titles among active players
Jannik Sinner, the only Italian to ever hold the ATP World No. 1 ranking, defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets to claim his third Grand Slam title. This victory not only solidifies his dominance but also makes him the most successful Italian player in terms of major singles titles. Remarkably, Sinner has now beaten ten consecutive top-10 players on the ATP Tour in straight sets, setting a new record.
Sinner’s rise has sparked debates about whether he is the greatest Italian tennis player of all time, a title some argue still belongs to Nicola Pietrangeli. Pietrangeli, a two-time French Open champion and former World No. 3, holds the Davis Cup record for most matches won by an Italian (120).
“No one is at his level; it’s not their fault—he’s too strong. I predicted this final would end in straight sets, and it did. He’s playing with such ease and enjoyment, and that’s important.”
In an interview with Adnkronos, Pietrangeli acknowledged Sinner’s achievements while maintaining a cautious perspective:“It’s right that he overtook me—records are made to be broken. But the accounts are done at the end. He’s 23 years old; we’ll see when he’s 30. I wish him all the best and hope he does even better.”
Pietrangeli praised Sinner’s dominance, particularly his 80-6 win-loss record since the start of 2024.
Sinner has maintained his innocence, emphasizing that his success comes from having a clear conscience.
“I keep playing like this because I have a clear mind about what happened. If I were guilty, I couldn’t perform like this,” he said after his Melbourne victory.
The WADA appeal hearing is scheduled for April, and Sinner remains eligible to compete until a final decision is made. For now, his focus is on enjoying his historic achievement and continuing his stellar season.
