Since entering the top-tier of men's tennis, Jannik Sinner's rise has not slowed for a moment. The Italian's latest milestone proves just how extraordinary his consistency has become since the second part of 2023 and especially in the previous two seasons.
The San Candido native has collected 87 consecutive weeks inside the top-2. Jannik became only the 12th player since the start of the ATP ranking in 1973 to achieve that feat, matching Lleyton Hewitt.
It is another chapter in Sinner's astonishing transformation from rising talent to week-in, week-out force of nature. His next target on this quest? Jim Courrier's 107-week run from the early 1990s.
The four-time Major winner is projected to catch the American in April 2026, which should not be a problem following his massive advantage over Alexander Zverev and the fact he missed the action in February, March and April this year.

Stefan Edbergs stands 9th with 177 straight top-2 weeks, trailing John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras. Rafael Nadal, Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors have all collected over 200 straight top-2 weeks.
Far at the top, Novak Djokovic embraced a 325-week streak, while Roger Federer reigns with 346 during his prime years. Matching the Swiss requires five more years in the elite top-2 company.
Still, Jannik's level, discipline, consistency and durability make that quest less impossible as the seasons go by. The numbers behind Sinner's streak tell an even clearer story.
Across 2024 and 2025, the Italian has provided back-to-back brilliance, winning over 90% of matches in both seasons and joining rare players who had achieved that before him.

While performing at a high level on every surface, Jannik has established himself as the finest indoor player in the world, having won 31 straight encounters with the roof above his head.
He became a contender against the rivals from the top in the second half of 2023, and he plays like a benchmark two years later, with only Carlos Alcaraz standing a chance against him.
At 24, the Italian has positioned himself as the most reliable performer of the new generation. He blends deep runs, titles and ranking points with clinical efficiency that will keep him in the top-2 for over 100 straight weeks.
His top-2 streak is more than another stat in his CV - it's a reflection of a player who has elevated his physical strength, baseline game, serve and every weakness, turning consistency into a weapon.

With Sinner's determination and trajectory pointing upward, the streak may only be in its early phase.
