Jannik Sinner is into the final of the ATP Finals in Turin, defeating Alex de Minaur, 7-5, 6-2, in the first semifinal of the day on Saturday.
And with that, he makes history.
At 24 years old, he’s the youngest player ever to reach the final at all four Grand Slams and the ATP Finals in a single season.
The Italian won two of the four Grand Slam events this year, the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and finished runner-up at the other two, Roland Garros and the US Open, to Carlos Alcaraz.
He could face Alcaraz again in the ATP Finals final on Sunday, if the Spaniard makes it past Felix Auger-Aliassime at night.
Overall, Sinner is the third player ever—at any age—to reach the final at all four Grand Slams and the ATP Finals in a single season, after Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who both did it twice.
Before Sinner, Federer was the youngest player ever to achieve the feat, when he did it for the first time as a 25-year-old in 2006.
The stat dates back to 1970, when the first ATP Finals were held.
