Jannik Sinner has done it again. In that perpetual debate among fans about who is the most beloved player on the ATP circuit, the Italian has once again prevailed. It is a purely symbolic award, although for some, it holds more significance than others for a future legacy... but the transalpine has achieved something that only Marat Safin and Roger Federer can boast: being named the Favorite Player of the public two years in a row.

Following his victory last season, the ATP announced today the results of the vote, with the San Candido native proclaiming number one and retaining the award. It is even more remarkable to have achieved this in 2024 when many fans distanced their sympathies from the Italian after testing positive for contamination, showing nonetheless the star power that Jannik possesses.

AN EMOTIONAL MESSAGE TO THE AUDIENCE

It is the latest recognition of a historic season, with one of the best winning percentages in recent decades, two Grand Slam titles, ATP Finals, Davis Cup, and finishing the season as number one. Of course, the Italian had a message of affection towards his fans, the same ones who have propelled him to this position. "I want to thank fans from all over the world for voting for me. It means a lot to me, since the votes come from all of you. You are the reason I play tennis. The support I have received throughout this season has been overwhelming", said Sinner, who now accumulates four awards (so far): Favorite Player of the public in 2023 and 2024, Breakthrough Player in 2019, and Most Improved Player in 2023 (in addition to being the best player of the year 2024, as number one at the end of the season).

Finally, what Jannik has achieved places him among the best in terms of fan love and recognition. It is worth noting that this award has been largely dominated by Roger Federer, who won it from 2003 to 2021, paving the way for Rafael Nadal to lift it for the first time in 2022. Since then, and after Rafa barely made a single appearance in 2023, Sinner has taken over to be number one for two consecutive years.
