Details: Sinner's first achievement after today's win was reaching 60 victories in the calendar year. He is the first player, male or female, to accomplish this in 2024. The leader among women is world No. 1 Iga Świątek, who currently has 59 wins.

Furthermore, given that Sinner amassed 64 wins last year, he becomes the first player to secure 60 or more victories in consecutive seasons since Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray achieved this feat in 2016.

• 2016: Murray (78), Djokovic (65)
• 2017: Nadal (68)
• 2018: Zverev (60)

• 2024: Sinner (60)

This list could still expand this year with Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev, who currently have 49 and 43 wins, respectively.

Sinner's second achievement after today's match was reaching 250 career wins. He is the first male player born in the 2000s to reach this milestone. Additionally, he is one of only three players born this century to have achieved 200 career wins.
