Jannik Sinner joined some pretty special company on Sunday as he became just the second men's tennis player in the Open Era behind Roger Federer to not lose in straight sets during the entire season. Federer accomplished this difficult feat back in 2005. Serena Williams also achieved this in 2013.

Jannik Sinner's spectacular 2024 season has come to an end in the best way as the world No. 1 helped Italy retain their Davis Cup title.The Italian squad lifted the trophy 12 months ago, ending a 47-year wait to win the World Cup of tennis.

Jannik Sinner is within touching distance of becoming only the second man in the Open Era to achieve a stunning feat. World No 1 Sinner is one win away from joining Roger Federer as the only players since tennis went professional in 1968 to go an entire season without losing a singles match in straight sets.

The 27-year-old is quick to admit that Grand Slams are what matter most, and he does not have any. The last American men's tennis player to win a Grand Slam was Andy Roddick at the 2023 US Open. Meanwhile, the women's side has been carried by Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, and Coco Gauff.
