(Watch) Roger Federer, Daniil Medvedev lead tennis fraternity's congratulatory message for Jannik Sinner on becoming new World No. 1

Jannik Sinner has become the first Italian tennis star to become the ATP World No. 1.

The ATP recently uploaded a video on their social media accounts where numerous tennis legends congratulated Jannik Sinner for becoming the new ATP World No. #1 in men’s singles division.

In 2024, Novak Djokovic’s campaign on the tour has been forgettable. The Serb has failed to defend his Australian Open and the French Open titles. Moreover, he’s yet to play a final this season. Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner has won three titles this year, especially, the 2024 Australian Open.

After Djokovic withdrew from Roland Garros, Sinner became the first Italian player to reach the World No. #1 ranking. On June 10, with the release of revised rankings, Sinner officially overtook Djokovic to take the top spot.

On the occasion, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of ATP made a compilation of videos from Roger Federer, Daniil Medvedev, Andre Agassi, John McEnroe and more. In the videos, the current and former tennis stars lauded and congratulated the Italian tennis star for reaching the feat.
