As of 2024, he is ranked No. 1 in singles by the ATP, which is also his career-high ranking.

With his remarkable athleticism and strategic approach to the game, Sinner finished finalist at the 2023 ATP Finals in Turin. On his debut at the Davis Cup, he helped Italy lift the trophy after 47 years. During the semifinal of the Cup, Sinner faced Djokovic for the third time in a row and became the first player to defeat him in a singles match. Sinner and current world No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz have played some memorable matches in the last couple of years. Sinner famously beat Alcaraz at the 2023 Miami Masters and at the 2023 China Open.

On November 1, 2021, Sinner became the first player born in the 2000s to enter the ATP Top 10. He finished as year-end world No. 1, thus becoming the first Italian player in history to achieve this ranking after registering a win against Tomas Machac at the Shanghai Masters. He went on to lift the trophy by defeating Djokovic in the final, thus winning his fourth Masters 1000 title. In late 2024, Sinner won the inaugral Six Kings Slam as well as the Nitto ATP Finals.
