Sinner Welcomed with a Cake Upon Arrival in Halle
Jannik Sinner has been the undisputed world number one for over a year now. Since the start of the 2024 season, the Italian has been impressively consistent, performing at an exceptionally high level and claiming numerous prestigious titles (including two Australian Opens, the US Open, the Davis Cup, the ATP Finals, and three Masters 1000 events), proving relentless even against the world's best players.
For now, only Carlos Alcaraz, who has won the last four encounters against Sinner, seems capable of challenging him. In recent days, the two stars of the new generation delivered an epic 5-hour, 29-minute battle in the Roland-Garros final. After failing to convert three match points, the San Candido native ultimately fell in a nail-biting finish (4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6).
Nevertheless, Sinner can take solace in celebrating his first anniversary as ATP world number one. Indeed, the 23-year-old has held the top spot continuously since June 10, 2024—the day after last year’s Roland-Garros final.
Jannik Sinner began his 53rd consecutive week as world number one on Monday. To mark the occasion, the organizers of the ATP 500 tournament in Halle decided to celebrate this milestone.
Sinner, currently in Germany to compete in the grass-court tournament, was greeted with a cake inscribed, "Welcome Jannik, 370 days as world number one." Last year, Sinner won the tournament by defeating Hubert Hurkacz in the final.
