Jannik Sinner’s season remains excellent
Despite his premature elimination at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, Jannik Sinner’s season remains excellent. The young Italian has won four titles this year, including the Australian Open and the Masters 1000 in Miami. The world’s number 1 could not express his best tennis in the quarterfinals against Daniil Medvedev because of a virus that weakened him in the hours before the match.
Jannik wanted to win his second Major in his career, but the physicist prevented him from competing for the title to Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. The Italian had arrived in London with high expectations after raising his first trophy on grass in Halle. His next goal is the Paris Olympics, where he will play in singles and doubles with his fellow countryman Lorenzo Musetti (who reached the semi-final at Wimbledon losing to Djokovic).
Despite the unexpected defeat at Wimbledon, Sinner remained the world’s number one ahead of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. The Olympic tournament does not award ATP points, while the Italian will have to defend a lot of points in the second half of the season (especially in autumn).
Sinner is still No.1
With the victory at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, Carlos Alcaraz managed to win 2 Slams in a few weeks, a result that in history only 5 other tennis players (including Big Three) had ever made. The success of the Spaniard thus questioned the primacy in the ranking of Sinner and many via social have pointed out that the Spaniard won more Slams than the Italian in this 2024 and won more important tournaments, Jannik, however, currently remains first in the standings and has a fair margin on his rival, behind also Novak Djokovic.
The Spaniard has only 2170 points to defend from here to the end of the season, few seen the many tournaments and between Us Open, 1000 and Finals of the year Alcaraz can increase and not a little its numbers. For Sinner different situation with the Italian that has 3370 points to defend, 1 thousand and the final at the ATP Finals in Turin where the Italian will go almost certainly this season. 1200 more points for Sinner to defend, more or less the lead in the ATP ranking and then Alcaraz has a nice opportunity. Very hard for Novak Djokovic who – from now to the end of the season – has to defend 5370 points, impressive numbers and that hardly – especially given the performance of this season – will be able to repeat.

Speaking with La Gazzetta dello Sport, ATP legend Boris Becker reflected on Sinner’s rise: “I think Sinner is on the right track. He has been playing at a very high level for months now, and his greatest quality is consistency. If we focus on the last period, he hasn’t played a ‘bad match’ yet, touching wood.
On the one hand, you can’t always win, but on the other, he always has a very high level, more than anyone else since the beginning of the year. So to surpass him, you have to do even better and that’s why this year he has only lost a couple of matches. There is the eternal debate about ‘good’ or ‘bad’ draws, to me, as a player and then as a coach, it has always seemed like a sterile discussion, it is the player who makes the draw a good draw.”
The Italian wants a medal in Paris
Sinner will do his best to win the gold medal at the Paris Olympics later this month. As was easily predictable, by virtue of the successes at Wimbledon and Roland Garros, the suspect number one at the gold medal is still Alcaraz, which according to the major betting agencies will continue the trail of successes he has undertaken for a few months. The winning Spaniard in Paris is worth 3,00 on Bet365, 2,50 on Better and Goldbet and 2,00 on Snai.
Behind him the number one in the world, who after a few days of complete relaxation spent in the company of his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya in Costa Smeralda, wants to resume grinding successes. The first Olympic success is listed 3.75 on bet365, 3.50 on Snai and 3.00 on Better and Goldbet.
Djokovic, who wants at all costs the only great trophy missing from his legendary career, doesn’t even say it. 5,00 for Better and Goldbet, 6,00 for Snai and 4,00 for Bet365 for the 24 times Serbian Slam champion. Confirmation of Sascha Zverev’s title is unlikely for betting agencies. Odds 11,00 on Better and Goldbet, 6,00 on Snai and Bet365. Experts can not underestimate Rafa Nadal, who will play on his favorite courts.
