Italy’s Jannik Sinner is now just one step away from
achieving a unique milestone. The 23-year-old is already regarded as the best
player currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category.
Sinner is going through a fabulous season, which is why he
is certain to finish as the number one player in men’s tennis in 2024, that too
with points difference of more than 3000. The San Candido-born is now one step
away from achieving a unique milestone. His last game of the season in the
singles category will be in the Davis Cup against Australia’s Tallon Griekspoor.
If Sinner manages to avoid a straight-set defeat in that encounter,
he will only become the second player in the history of men’s tennis in the singles
category in the Open era to go a full season without losing a single match in
straight sets. The only other player to achieve that was former world number
one Roger Federer in 2005. The reigning world number one finished the season with
three major titles to his name.
His first major competition in 2024 was the Australian Open,
where he defeated Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final in a five-set thriller
with a score of 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. He then lifted the US Open after
beating America’s Taylor Fritz in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3,
6-4, 7-5. Sinner’s last major competition triumph in 2024 was the ATP Finals
where he once again defeated Fritz in the final in straight sets with a score
of 6-4, 6-4. Sinner became the world number one this year during the French
Open when the former world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic was forced to withdraw
from the competition because of a knee injury, just before the start of quarterfinal
against Norway’s Casper Ruud.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
