Jannik Sinner was in lethal form at this year’s ATP Finals in Turin, storming to the title without dropping a set, and finishing it off with a hard-fought 7-6 (4), 7-5 victory over Carlos Alcaraz.
With an event as big as the ATP Finals, there’s always a lot on the line—here are 10 things the Italian achieved with his latest triumph:
He’s just the third player ever to win multiple ATP Finals titles on home soil, having triumphed in Turin last year, too. The first two players to do that were John McEnroe, who won the tournament three times in New York City in 1978, 1983 and 1984, and Boris Becker, who won the event twice in Frankfurt in 1992 and 1995.
He’s just the second player ever to win multiple ATP Finals titles without dropping a set. He didn’t lose a set en route to the title last year, either. The only other player to achieve that feat was Ivan Lendl, who actually did it three times in 1982, 1985 and 1986.
He now has the BEST career winning percentage in ATP Finals history, with a minimum of 10 matches played. Going into the final, he was in second place at .875 (14-2), trailing only four-time champion Ilie Nastase’s .880 (22-3). But his victory over Alcaraz in the final bumped him up to .882 (15-2), and into first place.
