The number three position in the ATP ranking has been certified from today with 8270 points, now Jannik Sinner’s goal is to climb other positions and aim for Novak Djokovic’s current number one by 2024. A possible mission for the South Tyrolean tennis player even if to reach it he will have to deal with the performances of the various Alcaraz (today n.2 with 9105 points), Djokovic himself (who currently has 9855 points) and also Daniil Medvedev (fourth with 8265 points) and the team’s points assignment system ‘Atp.
And while calculations and probabilities go crazy, in an interview with Vanity Fair, in setting his objectives, he also talks about the difficult moments that may come and how he must work to manage them in the best way: “All the matches that are won, not they are won on the day they are played.

And while calculations and probabilities go crazy, in an interview with Vanity Fair, in setting his objectives, he also talks about the difficult moments that may come and how he must work to manage them in the best way: “All the matches that are won, not they are won on the day they are played.
You win by preparing for months, perhaps years, working for that match – says Sinner – We’ll see if this work will also help in the first failure, we’ll see how I react. But I’m not afraid of making mistakes, I don’t think about it. I don’t see what point there is in thinking about it.”
After yesterday’s victory in Rotterdam Sinner returned to his Sesto Pusteria to visit his loved ones, asking for maximum confidentiality: discretion is one of the cornerstones of his character, “I want to protect the people closest to me, keeping them out of all of this – he underlined in the interview with Vanity Fair – I see it as a small task to carry out, almost a duty: they helped me gain self-confidence, and today in some way I want to protect them”.
“Sinner has already amply demonstrated that he is a true champion, his future will be a protagonist. He will certainly fight to reach the first position in the ranking, it is not a utopia at the moment. I wish him to obtain this result in the shortest time possible , would do honor to our movement.
I believe he will not dominate the world of tennis, but he will be one of the main protagonists like Alcaraz”, predicted Tonino Zugarelli.
The ATP points allocation system makes it difficult to understand if and when the positions can be climbed, because they are linked to the presence and results of each tennis player in 19 tournaments, compared to what was achieved in the previous season. At the end of the 52 weeks, i.e. with the Aus Open, everything resets and tournament by tournament each additional round adds points, each fewer round subtracts points.
Sinner’s chase towards the first two places in the rankings begins in any case with the next two American Masters which close the first part of the hard court season. The blue who made the final in Miami and semi-final in Indian Wells, will defend a haul of 960 points. A situation of potential advantage compared to Alcaraz who instead has 1660 points to conserve but not compared to Djokovic, who having not played the two tournaments last season has everything to gain in terms of points.
Until the end of the grass season, Sinner has greater margins for improvement than the other three rivals in the Top 4. That is, he defends fewer points than all the others. It is not unrealistic to think that he could present himself as world number 2 at the start of the clay season and launch the chase against Novak Djokovic. On clay the blue will defend 585 points, against Djokovic’s 2,315, Alcaraz’s 2,265 and Medvedev’s 1,280.
So with a performance more similar to what we have seen in recent months, with the possibility of increasing his haul in the rankings more significantly than the other Top 4, imagining that Sinner could become the first Italian number 1 in the world ever no longer appears like a ‘utopia. But an actually achievable goal. Even for bookmakers, the goals achieved by the class of 2001 in the first two months are just the beginning: a 2024 finish as world number one is quoted at 2.50 on Snai. But it doesn’t end here, because the oddsmakers concretely see the possibility of other slams in the current year: the victory of another Major in 2024 is played at 1.85 on Goldbet and Better, while a sensational three of a kind is worth 3.50 the stake .
