"You're close to winning a Grand Slam and becoming number one in the world." These were the statements spoken by Djokovic to Sinner following the final in Turin. And if Nole is certain of this, the bookmakers can only affirm the following: the conquest of the top spot by 2024 is a 10-point wager on Newgioco. Jannik finished fourth this year, after Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Medvedev. The Serb's victories in three of the four Slams resulted in an almost 5,000-point gap in the standings from first place. Sinner will be required to make further progress on the four preeminent stages, where he has already qualified for the second round, two round of 16, and a semifinal this year. Better analysts predict the Italian number one's maiden Slam victory in 2024 at 2.50. The first Major of the season is not far away. Sinner's first test will be the Australian Open in January, where he lost in the round of 16 against Tsitsipas in 2023. Novak Djokovic, who has not lost in Australia since 2018, will be the favorite to win the championship, which would be the twenty-fifth Slam and the eleventh in Oceania. At 2, Nole appears victorious on Snai, followed by Alcaraz at 3.50, Medvedev at 6, and Sinner at 7.
