In a remarkable achievement, Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner has once again been voted the Fans’ Favorite singles player in the annual ATP Awards for 2024. This marks the second consecutive year that Sinner has received this prestigious honor, solidifying his status as one of the most beloved players on the tour.
Sinner’s 2024 season was nothing short of spectacular. He started the year with a 16-match winning streak, which included his maiden major trophy at the Australian Open, making him the first Italian in the Open Era to win the singles title there. Throughout the year, Sinner claimed a tour-best eight titles, including his second major singles triumph at the US Open and victories at three ATP Masters 1000 events (Miami, Cincinnati, Shanghai) as well as the Nitto ATP Finals.
His success on the court was matched by his sportsmanship and dedication to the fans. Sinner expressed his gratitude, saying, “I just want to thank all the fans around the world for voting for me. It means so much to me because the votes are coming from all of you. You are the reason why I love to play tennis. The support has been amazing throughout this whole season.”
Sinner’s achievements this year also included leading Italy to a successful Davis Cup title defense, with his decisive victory over Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor in the final match. His consistent performance and ability to win titles without losing a match in straight sets have drawn comparisons to tennis legend Roger Federer, who is also a two-time Fans’ Favorite winner.
