Jannik Sinner named Fans’ Favourite in ATP Awards for second consecutive year
ATP
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has won the Fans’ Favourite Singles Player award for the second year in a row. The Italian star secured this honour after completing the best season of his career in 2024, claiming eight titles—including two Grand Slams—and an impressive 73-6 win-loss record.
Sinner started the year with a 16-match winning streak, culminating in his maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. Along the way, he defeated 10-time champion Novak Djokovic and overcame Daniil Medvedev in the final, rallying from two sets down to win 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
“You are the reason I love tennis” - Sinner thanks fans
The Italian maintained his momentum throughout the season, capturing the US Open title, three Masters 1000 crowns (Miami, Cincinnati, and Shanghai), and the ATP Finals just weeks ago. As the cherry on top, the 23-year-old led Italy to a successful Davis Cup title defence, defeating the Netherlands’ Tallon Griekspoor in Málaga.
The ATP announced today that Sinner had won the award for the second consecutive year, sharing a video of the Italian’s gratitude. “I just want to thank all the fans around the world for voting for me,” said Jannik Sinner. “It means so much to me because the votes are coming from all of you. You are the reason why I love to play tennis. The support has been amazing throughout this whole season.”
This isn’t Sinner’s first ATP accolade. In 2019, he was named the Most Improved Player of the Year, a season in which he also claimed the Next Gen ATP Finals title, defeating Alex de Minaur in the championship match.
Currently enjoying his off-season, Sinner is preparing for his return by training in Dubai. The Italian will skip tournaments leading up to his Australian Open title defence, meaning his first official match of the new season will take place in Melbourne in mid-January.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
