Jannik Sinner is set to climb to No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings on 10 June. The 22-year-old will become the first Italian and just the 29th player overall to top men’s tennis. Sinner began the year at World No. 4. But with a massive surge to begin 2024, highlighted by his first major title at the Australian Open, an ATP Masters 1000 title in Miami and semi-finals at Indian Wells and Monte-Carlo, he will now ascend to the very top of the sport.

"What can I say? First of all it is every player's dream to become No. 1 in the world," Sinner said after his Roland Garros quarter-final win against Grigor Dimitrov, before addressing the withdrawal of Novak Djokovic, which guaranteed his ascent. "In the other way, seeing Novak retiring here I think is disappointing. I wish him a speedy recovery."
