The young Italian player is also improving steadily his rankings. After defeating Jenson Brooksby in the semi-final, Jannik Sinner becomes the new world number 10 in the year-to-date live rankings. This is an important step because he has the opportunity to play the ATP Finals on home soil in Turin this year if he will be ranked the number 8 in the year-to-date rankings.
It will be extremely important for Jannik Sinner to win the final. In that case he will have 2020 points in the year-to-date rankings to be at arm’s length with Hurkacz (2190points) and Ruud (2270).
