Jannik Sinner is having a great 2021 after winning an ATP 250 in Melbourne and reaching the final at the Miami Open. Jannik is currently ranked number 22. However, Jannik Sinner has already gained 2 places in the live ranking to be the new world number 20, at least for now.
Why Jannik Sinner is already a top 20 player in the live rankings
Jannik Sinner needs to play his first match in Monte Carlo against Albert Ramos-Vinolas, who has recently reached the final in Marbella. Nevertheless, after Fognini dropped 500 points from the live rankings and Stan Wawrinka lost 22 points, Jannik goes 2 places up in the rankings to be also the new Italian number 2 after Matteo Berrettini.
The Italian no.2
The ATP 1000 in Monte Carlo has just started, and Jannik still needs to face Albert Ramos Vinolas. If the Italian sensation wins the first round, he will face Novak Djokovic. Therefore, this career-high in the live ranking may be short-lived. However, it is still plausible that young Jannik Sinner will be the Italian number 2 after this week. After dropping 500 points, Fabio Fognini has 2,048 “live” points while Jannik has 2,369 points.
