Jannik Sinner and the pair formed by
Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini have been named International
Tennis Federation (ITF) World Champions 2024, respectively in
the men's singles and women's doubles categories, the ITF said
Monday.
The prestigious recognition is awarded on the basis of the
results achieved during the season, taking into consideration,
in particular, the four Grand Slam tournaments, the Davis Cup,
the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge, the Olympics and the
Paralympics.
For Sinner, world number 1 for 33 weeks - winner last year of
the Australian Open, US Open, ATP Finals and Davis Cup - it is
the first time, as well as the first time ever for an Italian at
singles level.
A gold medal at the Paris Olympics and success in the Billie
Jean Cup allowed Errani and Paolini to win the prestigious award
for the first time as a couple. For Errani it is the fourth time
in her career; the previous three times it was alongside Roberta
Vinci.
