Jannik Sinner continues to make a mark in the history of the world tennis when it has just reached for 59 weeks in a row to hold the No. 1 ATP. With this achievement, he officially surpassed the legendary John McEnroe (58 weeks) to become the 7th -long number 1 chain in ATP history.
According to the latest announcement from ATP, Sinner now has a total of 59 weeks at the top of the world rankings. Although it is not a very outstanding number compared to players like Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer, it is worth noting that all 59 weeks are going on continuously, without interruption. This is a clear difference, showing the incredible stability of the player born in 2001 for more than a year.
Jannik Sinner is currently preparing to conquer 60 weeks in a row to hold the No. 1 ATP, with a very solid total point of up to 12.030 points, creating a big distance compared to the second person Carlos Alcaraz (8,600 points). Next week (July 28), the Italian player will definitely reach the 60 -week milestone holding the top.
Notably, Shelton overcame Holger Rune 8, pushed the Danish player to the 9th rank due to the loss of points, this is the best rank of the American tennis player. Currently, Shelton owns 3,330 points, only inferior to the No. 7 player Lorenzo Musetti a very small and more advanced distance.
In the top 5, behind Sinner and Alcaraz are Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Jack Draper. Novak Djokovic still holds 6th.
In front of Sinner in the list of the No. 1 ATP players in the second consecutive, Lleyton Hewitt is now 75 weeks, and if it continues to maintain the impressive performance as it is now, the Italian tennis player can completely cross this milestone in the next few months.
This achievement highlighted Jannik Sinner's strong promotion momentum in 2025. He started the year with the first Grand Slam championship at Australian Open, then defeated Alcaraz to win the Wimbledon championship and constantly had stable performances against the world's leading competitors. Sinner is also the one who has repeatedly defeated Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic – two names that are considered the biggest challenge in the current No. 1 ATP race.
Not only won big titles, Sinner also showed mature in terms of tactics and bravery. The ability to defend firmly, accurate left -handed and stable psychological shots in the key times help him become a more complete player through each tournament.
With a very young age and fullness, Jannik Sinner is proving that he is not only a temporary phenomenon, but a new symbol of the world tennis village. And if continuing to maintain the current form, Sinner's joining the “Legendary Four Great” group in the future is not completely unrealistic.
