2024 was historic for many reasons, as it resulted in a change in the landscape of tennis. For the first time since 2002, no members of the ‘Big 3’ were able to win a Grand Slam.

The Norwegian, who spent three weeks at a career-high of No. 2 right after the US Open, is the first Scandinavian to finish a year in the Top 3 of the ATP rankings since Stefan Edberg in 1992.

At the ATP Finals, a first win over Novak Djokovic. And to cap it all off, he went 3-0 in the Davis Cup Finals to lead Italy to its first title since 1976—25 years before Sinner was born.
