Jannik Sinner Named Year-End ATP No. 1

Jannik Sinner celebrated his historic achievement of finishing the year ranked No. 1 in the world at the ATP Finals in Turin, making him the first Italian to achieve this milestone. He received the trophy during a ceremony attended by his mother and former champion Boris Becker, who praised Sinner as a formidable player for the future. Sinner's successful year included victories at both the Australian Open and U.S. Open, solidifying his status among the elite. However, his season has been marred by controversy due to two positive drug tests for clostebol, which are currently under appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Despite the ongoing investigation, Sinner expressed deep gratitude to his team and fans for their support during this challenging time. He opened the ATP Finals with a win against Alex de Minaur and is set to face Taylor Fritz next.
