In a historic moment for Italian tennis, Janik Sinner has officially ascended to the coveted world No.1 ranking, as announced by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) in their latest rankings release.

Sportxparte reports that this achievement marks a significant milestone for Sinner, who became the first Italian player to hold the top spot in the tennis world.

Sinner’s remarkable journey to the summit included a notable performance in the French Open, where he reached the semi-finals.

However, he faced defeat at the hands of the eventual champion, Carlos Alcaraz, who himself climbed to second place in the rankings.

This outcome also resulted in the Serbian tennis maestro Novak Djokovic, who had held the No.1 spot since last September, slipping down to third place.

Overall, these rankings reflect the dynamic nature of the tennis world, with talented players from various nations vying for the top positions.
