Jannik Sinner clinches ATP Year-End World No.1

Jannik Sinner secured the ATP Year-End No. 1 sponsored by PIF title after making it to the Rolex Shanghai Masters final on Saturday.

Although it’s a significant occasion for the 23-year-old, he has stated that he won’t sit back and take it all in.

“’It’s a good feeling. I’m very happy to achieve this. It was an amazing season for me, and it’s not finished yet,” Sinner said. “Tomorrow is a great final ahead, first time here in Shanghai, so I’m looking forward to it, and then we [will] see how it goes. Hopefully it’s going to be a good match.”

Sinner will face four-time Shanghai champion Novak Djokovic, who will try to claim his 100th tour-level title in the match. But the Italian will take confidence knowing he will finish the year as the No. 1 player in the world no matter what happens in the final weeks of the season.

“Being No. 1 in the world at the end of the year, it was only a dream just to become No. 1. Now finishing it, it’s also a different feeling,” Sinner said. “But now during the tournament it’s a bit different, so I’m just trying to be focused for tomorrow, and then we [will] see how it goes.”

Jannik Sinner joined the List of active players to reach ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF after Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner.
