    Sinner's peak level climbed into the all-time ATP top 10 list!

    Maybe some esteemed members of this discussion board have missed the rise and quality of young Jannik. Only eight players are ranked to have been stronger in ATP history. Obviously it now gets harder and harder, Sinner only got 16 points for his run at the AO 2025. Rank Player Peak...
