San candido

The San Candido: Following his semi-final win at the Shanghai Masters, Jannik Sinner has clinched the ATP year-end No. 1 ranking, becoming the first Italian to achieve the feat.

Sinner became the first man or woman from Italy to reach World No. 1 in singles since computerised rankings were introduced in 1973. He has not relinquished his place since and will retain it at least through the end of the season.

“It’s amazing. It’s something you dream of when you are a kid, when you are young, just to reach the No. 1. Now having the year-end, it’s also a different and special feeling. It means so much to me, obviously. This is something I could not accomplish without all the people I have around the family and friends and also a big credit to my team,” said Sinner.
