Sinner accomplishes what only Federer & Djokovic have

Being in the same sentence as Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic is almost always a good thing. That is certainly the case this week for Jannik Sinner.

By reaching the championship match at the Nitto ATP Finals on Saturday, the Italian joined Federer and Djokovic as the only players to reach the final at all four majors and the Nitto ATP Finals in the same season.

Federer did it in 2006 and 2007, before Djokovic accomplished the feat in 2015 and 2023. The common thread between those four? Federer and Djokovic won the Nitto ATP Finals on each occasion.

That is not all that Sinner has going for him at Inalpi Arena. The home favourite has proven a dominant force in Turin over the past two seasons.

Since beginning last year’s Nitto ATP Finals, the San Candido native has not lost a set in nine matches at the season finale. In 2024, he did not drop more than four games in a set.

Sinner has not lost a step at this edition of the year-end championships. The second seed has not lost serve through four matches against the best players in the world.

Since the ATP began tracking service statistics in 1991, Djokovic is the only other player who has made the championship match at the Nitto ATP Finals without losing a service game, doing so in 2018. The Serbian would lose serve four times to Alexander Zverev with the trophy on the line.

Sinner will take confidence from not only his serving this week, but his extended success indoors. The 24-year-old has won 30 consecutive indoor matches, with his most recent defeat coming to Djokovic in the 2023 Turin final.

The defending champion will face rival Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday for the crown. This century only Djokovic, Federer and Lleyton Hewitt have won the Nitto ATP Finals in consecutive years. Sinner has a chance to join them.

“I’m of course happy first of all to finish my season here, another final,” Sinner said. “[It] has been an amazing year for me. I'm looking forward for tomorrow. These are matches I look up to. These are matches I look forward to.”
