Jannik Sinner joins elite list including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal; becomes fifth player to achieve special milestone
Jannik Sinner became only the fifth player in ATP history to surpass 12,000 points in a single season and joined the elite list.
Roger Federer first shattered this barrier in the mid-2000s, followed by Novak Djokovic, who set the record with 16,950 points in his remarkable 2015 season. Rafael Nadal achieved it during his 2013 comeback, and Andy Murray joined the elite group in 2016, a year capped by Olympic gold and the year-end No. 1 ranking.
The ATP system awards points based on a player's performance over the past 52 weeks, with Grand Slams offering up to 2,000 points for a title and Masters 1000 events providing up to 1,000. To cross 12,000 points, a player must combine major victories with consistent deep runs in high-stakes tournaments.
Jannik Sinner's journey to this milestone began with his breakthrough at the 2024 Australian Open, where he claimed his first Grand Slam title. His 2025 season has been even more remarkable, with a second Australian Open crown, a runner-up finish at Roland Garros, and a historic Wimbledon victory. These results, combined with strong performances in Masters 1000 and ATP 500 events, have guided him past the 12,000-point threshold.
Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon triumph marked his fourth Grand Slam title, extending his record as Italy's most successful singles player in major tournaments. As the first Italian man to win Wimbledon, Sinner has etched his name in tennis history.
Australian Open - Winner (2024, 2025)
French Open - Final (2025)
Wimbledon - Winner (2025)
Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon victory against the two-time defending champion not only added to his legacy but also brought significant financial rewards.
As the 2025 men's singles champion, he earned $4.05 million (approximately 347.73 million INR at an exchange rate of 1 USD = 85.86 INR). On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz took home $2.05 million (approximately 176.01 million INR).

At Wimbledon, dignity in victory and defeat told a deeper story
It is easy, in elite sports, to become impatient with vulnerability. To go searching for dominance and drama, and overlook the quiet work of resilience and grace. Over the last two weeks at Wimbledon, however, it wasn't just the on-court exploits that left a mark. It was the dignity with which both victory and defeat were carried that told a deeper story — of the cost of sustaining greatness; of titans coming undone by age; of promise stumbling on the brink of arrival; of rivalries softening into mutual respect. From 38-year-old Novak Djokovic pushing his unwilling body to its limits to women's singles runner-up Amanda Anisimova fighting loss and personal setbacks — the death of her father and a mental-health breakdown — to reach her first Grand Slam final, only to be demolished 6-0, 6-0, this year's tournament threw up moments that were authentic, aching and utterly human. Jannik Sinner's maiden Wimbledon crown was equally moving, not only for the precision of his play or his athletic supremacy — though his backhand, especially, sang — but for what it revealed about growth. Weeks earlier, at Roland Garros, the Italian had returned from a three-month doping ban and lost the final — from three championship points — to the very opponent he now outplayed. Carlos Alcaraz came into the Wimbledon final on a career-best 24-match winning streak, but Sinner brought something harder to measure: The quiet fire of redemption. Only after the euphoria of his achievement had settled in would he climb into his box, fold into his family's arms, and weep. Sport, at its most moving, isn't just about mastery, it is about faith. After records have been broken and personal milestones achieved, it is about what it costs to keep coming back, year after year, not always as the favourite, not always whole, but because of the stubborn hope that circumstances change, one dream at a time. At this year's Wimbledon, it was this very spirit — decent, dignified, defiant — that found room to breathe.
