Thanks to the comeback victory over Roberto Bautista Agut, Jannik Sinner is the new number 21 in the world and, a possible victory in the final, would put the Italian in the top 15 and not far from the top 10 in the world.
As stated by Sinner himself, the ranking is not a priority at the moment, but what could become of it in the coming weeks and in general in the coming months is the racing ranking, a ranking of the annual results that will bring an Italian to the finals in Turin this year would.
This could be a great satisfaction for Sinner and for all Italian tennis fans. With yesterday’s win against Bautista, Sinner, he got more important points and at this moment he would be one of the 8 players at the finals in Turin, even if a lot is still missing.
This year’s numbers are excellent and Jannik Sinner is currently in sixth place, ahead of tennis legends like Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and great tennis players like Dominic Thiem and the German Alexander Zverev.
Given the few tournaments he is likely to play this year, it will be very difficult for Roger Federer to be among the 8 players present at the finals: only a Grand Slam win or a final could approach that possibility but the numbers are very complicated.
Another situation for Rafael Nadal: The king of sand has not played many tournaments this year and has few points in his account, but tournaments like Monte Carlo, Rome and Roland Garros are his calling card for the finals.
Recently, Rafael Nadal received praise from former NBA All-Star player and current head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, Steve Nash.

Sergio taught me a lot. I am obviously very busy as I am just starting to play the game. It’s an inspiring place to learn the game. “The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player also praised Rafael Nadal, calling him one of the greatest athletes in the world in all sports.
He also credited the Spaniard for being a great inspiration for his life. The 47-year-old added, “It is a pleasure to be here and to share the facility with everyone and obviously he is a huge inspiration to my life. It is an honor to be here.”
