Jannik Sinner claimed his 16th big title by winning the Italian Open on Sunday in Rome. The victory allows the Italian to move ahead of Carlos Alcaraz in the race for major titles. Alcaraz meanwhile faces major ranking point deductions after withdrawing from upcoming events.
Sinner defeated Casper Ruud in the final to secure the title. He has now won the first five Masters 1000 events of the season and stands alone with a career Golden Masters except for Novak Djokovic. The 24-year-old leads the ATP rankings with 14,750 points.
