PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA, December 2, 2024 (ATP Press Release)
The ATP today published the 2024 year-end PIF ATP Rankings on ATPTour.com with Jannik Sinner finishing as ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF for the first time.
The Italian began his season by winning his first major title at the Australian Open and never looked back. In June he became the first player from his country to reach World No. 1 in the history of the PIF ATP Rankings (since 1973) and has not relinquished it since.
The likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev pushed the 23-year-old throughout the season, but Sinner remained undeterred. He claimed eight tour-level titles — including his first two majors (Australian Open and US Open) and the Nitto ATP Finals trophy — en route to a dominant year-end finish.
Sinner entered the 2024 season at World No. 4 and with 10 titles to his name. He nearly doubled that total in one season with his Tour-leading eight crowns, earning three ATP Masters 1000 triumphs (Miami, Cincinnati and Shanghai), and emerging victorious at two ATP 500 events (Rotterdam and Halle).
This is Sinner’s 26th week at World No. 1, which places him 17th among the 29 players who have joined the prestigious ATP No. 1 Club. Last season’s ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF, Novak Djokovic, was World No. 1 until Sinner took the mantle in June.
Djokovic extended his record for weeks at the top to 428. This is the Serbian’s 17th appearance in the Top 10 of the year-end PIF ATP Rankings, putting him third behind only Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal (18 each).
No. 3 Alcaraz is the third player to finish in the top three on three occasions before turning 22. The other two are Bjorn Borg (1974-77) and Nadal (2005-07). The Spaniard won Roland Garros and Wimbledon to become the youngest man to claim major glory on all three surfaces (hard, clay and grass).
No. 1 Sinner, No. 2 Zverev and No. 4 Taylor Fritz all finished at a career-high year-end PIF ATP Ranking. Zverev became just the third German to end a season in the top two, joining Boris Becker and Michael Stich.
It was a season of breakthroughs for Fritz, who is the first American to finish in the top four since James Blake ended the 2006 season in the same spot. Fritz reached his maiden major final at the US Open and advanced to the championship match at the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time.
No. 5 Daniil Medvedev has earned a top five finish in five of the past six seasons. He reached the Australian Open final, marking the fourth straight year in which he has advanced to a Grand Slam championship match.
Alex de Minaur is the lone new face in the year-end Top 10 after climbing to a career-high No. 6 in July. He became the first Australian player to crack the Top 10 in the PIF ATP Rankings since Lleyton Hewitt did so in 2000. It is the second straight year in which only one player has broken into the Top 10 for the first time (Frances Tiafoe in 2023).
Two players returned to the year-end Top 10: No. 6 Casper Ruud (third appearance) and No. 10 Grigor Dimitrov (second appearance). The seven years between Dimitrov’s appearances (2017 to 2024) marks the biggest gap between year-end Top 10 finishes in PIF ATP Rankings history.
Seventeen players in the year-end Top 20 have qualified for or competed in the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF in their careers. Two of the top three, World No. 1 Sinner (2019) and World No. 3 Alcaraz (2021), won the title.
