Jannik Sinner continues to etch his name into tennis history as he enters his 54th straight week atop the ATP rankings, overtaking Novak Djokovic’s 53-week run for the fourth-longest first stint at number one. The 23-year-old Italian, who first claimed the top spot on June 10 last year, now finds himself behind only Roger Federer (237 weeks), Jimmy Connors (160), and Lleyton Hewitt (75) in this elite category.

Sinner’s rise has been marked by consistency and resilience. Despite a recent loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final—an epic five-set battle—he remains firmly in control of the rankings. With 10,880 points, he holds a 2,030-point lead over Alcaraz, who sits in second place.

His dominance is even more impressive considering he returned from an injury layoff earlier this year. Since then, he has added to his points tally at every opportunity, including a runner-up finish at the Italian Open and a strong showing at Roland Garros. Sinner is now defending his title in Halle and is expected to further solidify his lead heading into Wimbledon.

While Federer’s 237-week streak may remain out of reach, Sinner is well-positioned to challenge Hewitt’s 75-week mark in the coming months. His current form and mental fortitude suggest that his reign at the top is far from over. As the grass court season unfolds, all eyes will be on the young Italian to see just how far he can stretch this remarkable run.
