Jannik Sinner is a male professional tennis player who became a Grand Slam champion and the ATP Tour world number one for the first time in 2024.
Since turning pro in 2018, Sinner has steadily risen and is now a regular contender in the latter stages of the biggest tournaments on the tour.
His climb to the top of the ATP rankings for the first time was largely driven by Sinner’s emphatic run to the Australian Open title in January 2024, where he overcame a two-set deficit to defeat Daniil Medvedev in the final.
Sinner would go on to dominate the ATP Tour in 2024 but he hasn’t always been an aspiring tennis player.
