Jannik Sinner joined some pretty special company on Sunday as he became just the second men's tennis player in the Open Era behind Roger Federer to not lose in straight sets during the entire season. Federer accomplished this difficult feat back in 2005. Serena Williams also achieved this in 2013.

This means Sinner won at least one set in all of his matches he played in 2024. It's quite the achievement as he competed in 78 singles matches this season (including his two singles matches at the Davis Cup his week). He held a 72–6 singles record.
