Jannik Sinner is thrilled to achieve one of his main goals for the 2024 season by qualifying for the ATP Finals.
The event will be held in Turin, Italy, where only the top eight players of the season get to compete. This prestigious tournament runs from November 10th to 17th at the Pala Alpitour arena.
For the fourth year in a row, Turin will host this major tennis event. Sinner has secured his spot for the second consecutive year, ensuring an Italian presence in the competition.
In 2021, Sinner stepped in as a late replacement for Matteo Berrettini and won against Hubert Hurkacz before losing to Daniil Medvedev in the group stage. Last year, he had a breakout performance with an undefeated round-robin run and even defeated Novak Djokovic.

Turin’s Excitement:
Sinner reached the final after beating Medvedev but lost to Djokovic, who claimed his seventh ATP Finals title. Some fans believe that Sinner’s intense match against Holger Rune helped keep Djokovic in contention.
Shortly after, Sinner got his revenge by defeating Djokovic in a Davis Cup semifinal, leading Italy to its first team title in nearly fifty years. Fans might think it’s amazing how quickly fortunes can change!
By advancing to the Canadian Open quarterfinals with a win over Alejandro Tabilo, Sinner secured enough points for Turin and expressed excitement about returning home to showcase great tennis.
“I am very happy. It’s one of my main goals of the season. I am just looking forward to come back to Italy and hopefully show some good tennis.”
However, his title defense at the Canadian Open ended when he lost to Andrey Rublev due to a leg problem during their quarterfinal match on Saturday.
Despite this setback, Sinner still leads the ATP Race based on points earned this season. But if he skips Cincinnati due to injury concerns, Carlos Alcaraz could overtake him since they are less than 600 points apart after Alcaraz’s recent Grand Slam victories.
What do you think about Sinner’s chances?
