Jannik Sinner left the ATP throne after impressive 65 weeks since June 2024. The Italian lost the US Open final to Carlos Alcaraz and ended his notable streak at the top.
Despite that, Jannik remains in the top-2 without any issues, standing miles in front of Alexander Zverev, his closest rival. The San Candido native is enjoying his 77th consecutive top-2 week.
The streak underlines the four-time Major champion's remarkable consistency since the second part of 2023. Sinner has been ranked in the top-2 since April last year, embracing the 14th-best streak since the start of the ATP ranking in 1973.
Carlos Alcaraz's streak of consecutive top-2 weeks ended at 81, leaving Sinner on track to surpass his great rival in just five weeks and challenge the legends in front.
From there, the 24-year-old will begin chasing a bigger milestone - 100 consecutive weeks inside the top-2, achieved by only ten players since 1973. The list of legends ahead of Jannik is daunting.

Roger Federer tops the chart with 346 straight top-2 weeks, followed by Novak Djokovic's 325. While those numbers remain distant, Jannik's steady climb shows he belongs in the elite group.
The Italian will finish the season in the top-2 and extend his notable streak ahead of 2026. The mentioned streak confirms his ability to sustain world-class form at the very top of the sport, even after missing four Masters 1000 events at the start of 2025.
Sinner will give his best to erase the deficit and pass Alcaraz by the end of the season. However, it's much more realistic to see him as world no. 2 at the beginning of 2026 and the Australian Open title defense.
