The 2024 ATP Tour season has now reached its conclusion, with players already looking towards 2025.

Jannik Sinner ended 2024 as number one, with the Italian followed by Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz in second and third respectively.

The German once again missed out on a Grand Slam, however, with Sinner and Alcaraz winning two apiece.

Sinner could be banned after the 2025 Australian Open due to his doping case, meaning a title defence is still on the cards at this moment in time.

And given his ability on hard courts, back-to-back Australian Open titles for Sinner cannot be ruled out, with the event getting underway in mid-January.
