Latest Update: The 7 men to record 18+ top-10 wins in a season: ft Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Rafael Nadal….Read More

Jannik Sinner’s 2024 season has been among the most successful in recent history.

The Italian has risen to world No 1 in the ATP Rankings and has also won his first two major titles, alongside winning eight ATP titles overall

And, after being Alex de Minaur on Saturday, Sinner has now recorded 18 top-10 wins this year – one of just seven men to do that since the ATP Rankings were introduced.

No man has ever achieved more top-10 wins in an individual season than Djokovic, who recorded a staggering 31 such wins in his historic 2015 season – where he won three major titles.

The Serbian lost just five matches to top-10 opponents that year and was 82-6 overall, notably going 4-0 against Rafael Nadal, 5-3 against Roger Federer, and 6-1 versus Andy Murray.

However, the Serbian has achieved 18+ wins in another four seasons across his career, recording 24 top-10 wins in 2013, 21 in both 2011 and 2016, and 19 in 2014.

1984 was the most successful season of McEnroe’s career, with the tennis icon triumphing at Wimbledon and the US Open, and also reaching the French Open final.

The American compiled a staggering 82-3 record for the year and 24 of those victories came against top-10 opposition, a total only Djokovic has beaten.

Federer twice hit the milestone during the peak of his powers in the mid-2000s.

One of the most successful years of his career, the Swiss won three Grand Slam titles and became world No 1 in 2004, with 18 top-10 wins to his name that season – and a 74-6 record overall.

His greatest total of top-10 victories in a year came in 2006 when he won 19 matches in another season where he swept three of the four Slams.

Sinner now finds himself among all-time greats of the sport thanks to 18 top-10 wins across his 2024 campaign.

The Italian has only lost five times to top-10 opponents in 2024, with this form being a key factor behind his run to eight titles, two majors, and the world No 1 ranking.
