Jannik aims at Djokovic as a time of stay at the top after passing the Nadal legend. And if he also entered 2026 …
As far as can the number one’s empire be extended from the world of Sinner, the new Alessandro Magno of tennis? Jannik has already passed a legend like Rafael Nadal with 46 consecutive weeks in the lead in his first kingdom of the ranking and has already ensured one year as a king, 52 weeks. Now the Italian aims to overcome in this special ranking none other than Novak Djokovic. The Serbian is the undisputed master of the total weeks from n.1, 428 (none like him in history, between men and women), but the first kingdom of Nole lasted “only” 53 weeks, from 4 July 2011 to 8 July 2012. Sinner is already sure to stay at the top until June 2, where the week number 52 will start, but not in the following one, even if seen the troubles of Alcaraz and the lack of continuity of Zverev is Very probable that the day after the end of the Parisian Slam, Monday 9 June, Jannik is still number 1 in the world. At that point the week number 53 and the attachment to Nole, for the South Tyrolean, would be done things.
For the first time numbers 1

Sinner is already in the fifth place of tennis players with the longest kingdom after becoming number one in the world for the first time. This was preceded by the apparently unattainable Roger Federer with 237 weeks (from February 2, 2004 to 17 August 2008), followed by Jimmy Connors (160 weeks, from 29 July 1974 to 22 August 1977), Leyton Hewitt (75 weeks, from 19 November 2001 to 27 April 2003) and, as mentioned, Novak Djokovic.
number 1 for the whole 2025

And after? The next goal would be to be number one in the world throughout 2025. There would be exceeded 58 weeks of Courier, which is more than feasible. Left behind Jim, there would be Stefan Edberg, in the eleventh All Time place, at 72 Remaining throughout 2025 at the top of the ranking without interruption, which we all hope, Sinner would enter the top 10 of all time, also exceeding Lleyton Hewitt, stopped at 80.
Around 2026

And after? At that point, if Jannik managed to enter the number 1 in 2026 and not to lose too many points at the Australian Open, where he would be the outgoing bicampione, his kingdom could really not have boundaries, then given the suspension of three months that prevented him from participating in 4 tournaments 1000 and at least a 500. The 100 consecutive weeks in the lead in the ranking, in short, would not be utopia. Quite the opposite.
