This anti-achievement makes the other players look really bad.

Zverev choked so badly wasting his chance to take the no.1 by the end of Sinners ban, terrible results in SA swing and sunshine double...
 
It's amazing how fast time flies. It doesn't seem like Sinner has been #1 for that long, but I guess he has.

Will he still be #1 this time next year? Probably. He would have to fall off pretty hard to not be, and Alcaraz would have to win another US Open and an Australian. I guess both things are possible, but eh...
 
He will most likely hang on to this through Wimbledon.
Only a SF Monte Carlo result to defend in the upcoming clay season then SF result to defend at RG which I anticipate he will atleast get to the SF’s all while zverev has Rome : 1000 and 1200 RG final to defend. Strong showings in Madrid and Rome will help sinner regain some of those points.

He has 1 500 title to defend and only a QF defense position at Wimbledon.

It’s not until Cincinnati he will feel pressure and that’s only if zverev can bounce out of his funk. Alcaraz : I think will but he’s got two GS titles to defend.

I think sinner will maintain #1. Highlighting the amount of points he has to defend until Cincinnati, it’s not much… and if he maintains that level of play he displayed since USO last year, he should win Wimbledon or the French. (Maybe both).

he’ll have a lot of points to defend from august until January 2026. So that’s maybe where he will feel pressure of losing the #1 spot but that’s IF zverev and alcaraz can ramp up their play.

I don’t have any faith in Zverev. Alcaraz sucks on fast surfaces

Anytime Sinner beat him it wasn’t close and has dished out breadsticks. Carlos has never given Sinner any bakery products

Sinner dished out a bread stick to Carlos at IW and RG in the opening set then lost both matches.
Then lost Beijing. He was 0-3 against alcaraz last year.

And no we’re not counting the 6 king slam exhibition.

Didn’t alcaraz beat sinner in NY, Beijing, and Paris? Arent they faster surfaces , no? Doesn’t he own the H2H?

If the reverse is also true, that is, in Alcaraz's comfort zone, natural surfaces, in h2h Sinner leads 2-1, with the victory on clay in Umag 2022, and that of Wimbledon 2022, despite the only defeat at Roland Garros last year.

Calling their matchup strange doesn't do it justice.
Alcaraz leads h2h on hard while Sinner leads it on natural surfaces.
Of the 10 challenges between the two, 7 have been won by the player who at that moment had the worse ranking between the two.

Sinner is winning W this year.
 
I genuinely had no idea that Becker only had 12 weeks as the world no. 1 - I could have sworn it was more than that.

He has 10% of Novak's weeks at no. 1.

Djokovic at the same age as the current Sinner (so about 23 and 7 months) had totalled weeks at number 1=

Sinner is not Hewitt, Sinner is programmed to stay in that position for a long time (obviously not continuously).

When did I say Sinner = Hewitt? Of course he's a much better player but the fact that he has 40 weeks now doesn't guarantee 564 in 13 years time.

Sinner is 2-3 in surfaces that favor Carlos. You’re forgetting Indian wells which is a slow hard court.

On faster surfaces, sinner is 2-3 winning Miami and Beijing 2023. Losing at Paris, USO and Beijing 2024 final.
