Jannik Sinner credits support staff, family confirms as number one among men after the end of the year

“It’s amazing,” he said. “It’s something you dream about as a child, when you’re young. Just to reach the number 1 spot now, but to experience the end of the year… it is also a different and special feeling. But this happened during the tournament. So I don’t even think about that. I know tomorrow will be an important day… the final. But of course it means so much to me. This is something I couldn’t achieve without the people, family and friends I have. Thanks to my team.”

Sinner has had an impressive season in which he won two of the four Grand Slams. His most recent victory at a major event came in New York, where he won the US Open for the first time in his career after beating American Taylor Fritz in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4 , 7 -5. Sinner will next face the winner of the clash between Fritz and Djokovic in the final of the Shanghai Masters.
