Jannik Sinner is once again basking in glory after claiming another ATP Finals title, this time after beating Carlos Alcaraz in the final.
Sinner has released a statement after his year ended in glory, and he pocketed the cool $5.1 million winner’s cheque ahead of Alcaraz, who has his number for a large part of 2025.
Alcaraz could only praise Sinner after his 7-6, 7-5 defeat, and he will now flick his attention to the Davis Cup, where he will be hoping to help Spain to victory.
It feels like every time he plays, Sinner makes some sort of history, and now, after beating Alcaraz, he’s moved ahead of Novak Djokovic when it comes to doing something in his career.
Jannik Sinner overtakes Novak Djokovic after ATP Finals win
Jannik Sinner will already have targets set for 2026, and it looks as though he’s dead set on regaining his spot at the summit of the ATP world rankings.
Sinner’s form on the indoor circuit to finish the year has been incredible, with the Italian claiming three successive titles in Vienna, Paris and now Turin.
With that in mind, some statistics have emerged that show him overtaking Djokovic when it comes to his win percentage over the pair’s two best years as professional players.
A list has been compiled of the highest win percentages over a two-year period, and Sinner is now one of only seven players to boast over 91% over any two-year period.

| Roger Federer | 2005-06 | 173 | 9 | 95.1% |
| Jimmy Connors | 1974-75 | 173 | 11 | 94.0% |
| Bjorn Borg | 1979-80 | 154 | 12 | 92.8% |
| John McEnroe | 1984-85 | 153 | 12 | 92.7% |
| Ivan Lendl | 1985-86 | 158 | 13 | 92.4% |
| Jannik Sinner | 2024-25 | 131 | 12 | 91.6% |

How many Grand Slam titles will Jannik Sinner win in 2026?
Sinner did something remarkable by winning ATP Finals
These days, people are running out of superlatives to describe Sinner and his brilliance, with another situation happening for the first time in many years on Sunday.
Last year, Sinner managed to win the ATP Finals without dropping a set, and he also completed that move for a second successive year in 2025.
Nobody has done that from 1987 to 2023, with Sinner not only achieving the feat twice but in two successive years against the odds.
Sinner’s stock is continuing to rise all the time, and given the form that he’s going to take into 2026, it might not be long before he’s sitting back at the top of the rankings as the world number one.
