Jannik Sinner wins ATP Finals against Taylor Fritz

Jannik Sinner on Top: ATP Finals By The Numbers

The top eight men’s players of the season battled it out this past week in Torino for the prestigious ATP Finals trophy, with Jannik Sinner (UTR Rating 16.26) living up to his world No. 1 ranking by taking the title.

Sinner’s triumph closes an impressive 2024 for the 23-year-old in which he claimed eight titles, including the Australian Open, US Open, and three Masters 1000 events (Miami, Cincinnati, and Shanghai).

Below we look back at a few key figures from the ATP Finals.

 

6-4, 6-4

Not only the score in the final, 6-4, 6-4 was also the result of Sinner and runner-up Taylor Fritz’s duel in the round-robin portion of the tournament, with the Italian coming out the victor in both matches. In Sunday’s championship match, Sinner took down Fritz (UTR 15.91) in one hour and 24 minutes, saving the only break point he faced. It was the world No. 1’s fourth consecutive win over Fritz.

The result was no surprise to UTR Sports Insights, which had predicted a 69% win probability in Sinner’s favor ahead of the final.

 

10-0

Sinner went undefeated on home soil in Torino, a perfect 10-0 in sets en route to taking his maiden ATP Finals title. He is the first player to achieve the feat since Ivan Lendl back in 1986. For Sinner, who has held down the top ranking on tour since June, he also became the first Italian to win the season-ending singles title.

In addition to his two wins over Fritz, Sinner also bested Daniil Medvedev (UTR 15.81) and Alex de Minaur (UTR 15.86) in group play and Casper Ruud (UTR 15.58) in the semifinals.

No. 4

Though Fritz was not able to topple Sinner, he now sits at a new career-high ranking of world No. 4 thanks to his run in Torino, which included an exciting 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(3) victory over Alexander Zverev (UTR 16.04) in the semifinals. That’s one spot above his place heading into the week and caps a career year for the 27-year-old, in which he made his first Slam final at the US Open (where he also settled for runner-up against Sinner). He has now ensconced himself inside the ATP Top 5, and certainly still looks to be on an upward trajectory.

70-6

With a 70-6 match record following the ATP Finals and his many accolades, Sinner has arguably been the best player of the year. He also joins an exclusive group of players to have won 70 or more matches in a season – and the first since Andy Murray in 2016.

But it’s also interesting to note that half of his six losses have come at the hands of Carlos Alcaraz (UTR 16.20), holder of 2024’s other two Slams – Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The Spaniard is a perfect 3-0 against Sinner this year. For his part at the ATP Finals, Alcaraz went 1-2 and did not advance out of the group stage – and thus, the pair did not have the chance to face off again.

$4.88 Million

Sinner was awarded $4.88 million for winning the ATP Finals without dropping a match, the largest purse for a champion in ATP history. For comparison’s sake, he took home a cheque of $3.6 million for winning the US Open title in September. Sinner’s total prize money this year is now just shy of $17 million.

No. 15 and No. 16

Kevin Krawietz (world No. 15 ahead of the ATP Finals) and Tim Puetz (No. 16) claimed the doubles trophy for their biggest championship as a duo. The No. 8-seeded pair in Torino, they ousted the top team of Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic 7-6(5), 7-6(6) to become the lowest-ranked pairing to win the ATP Finals.
