On June 10th a year ago Jannik took the first place of the ranking, never lost again: in the viewfinder there are now the 58 weeks of Jim Courier
From 10 June 2024 to 2 June 2025. Fifty -two weeks in a row, in his first number one kingdom. A year as an absolute dominator of the ranking, for Jannik Sinner, expected tonight by the eighth final of Roland Garros against Andrey Rublev. Just in Paris, in the middle of the second Slam of the year, the blue last year became the first Italian king of the world ranking, while he was on the field against Grigor Dimitrov.

From France to France, therefore, always in the lead. Jannik is already tearing up to be n.1 at the end of Roland Garros, in the ranking on June 9, with none who can prevent him from continuing his kingdom and equaling in this weeks at the top of the ranking the first time after becoming n.1, none other than Novak Djokovic, absolute holder of the permanence record at the head of the ranking with 428 consecutive weeks. The Serbian, in his first experience, remained king from 4th July 2011 to 8 July 2012, when he was barely barely barefoot Federer. Next Monday Sinner will have a minimum of an advantage of 930 points against Alcaraz, probably destined to increase, given that the Spaniard will have to reveal Roland Garros to confirm the 2000 points of 2024, he will not be able to add others but he can only lose them, while the blue must defend the semifinal “only” and the related 800 points. If Rublev beat, the minimum detachment between the two on June 9 would already go to 1130 points.

Next goal of Jannik are the 58 weeks of Courier, even the absolutely feasible ones, indeed practically certain, since they would take on July 14, at the end of Wimbledon, another tournament where Sinner only has to earn and relatively little to lose (quarter -finals, 400 points), while Alcaraz also should defend the 2000 points of 2024. Exceed it before the start of Wimbledon for the Spaniard is almost impossible, He has practically nothing to defend before the English Slam (only an eighth final at Queen’s, 45 points), while the blue has the 500 points out of Halle. But where can Sinner arrive? After Courier, there would be Stefan Edberg, in the eleventh All time place, at 72. To overcome the Swedish, however, Jannik should remain n.1 until 27 October, therefore well beyond after the US Open. Staying 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 an altitude of 80. A few months ago it seemed Utopia, today it is more than ever reality.
