The sinner rose to 1st place in June last year, staying there every week since then, and the gap between him and the 2nd number of the beast rating was revealed as it may be on the Rod Laver Arena. This was the first Australian Open final between men who ranked 1st and 2nd since 2019 when Novak Djokovic under number 1 wins Raphael Nadal under number 2 – Also in direct sets.
That's how much the sinner has dominated from the beginning of last season: he won three of the five major tournaments, including the US Open in September, and his record for this period is 80-6 with nine tournament titles. Its current series without defeat covers 21 matches since last year.
It seems that the only thing that has been overshadowed for the last 12 months for the sinner is a doping case in which it was cleared by the decision that the world anti -doping agency appealed.
