Sinners and Ain'ts: 2024 ATP Wrap

Finally our 2024 season is coming to a close! Although bonus December content is coming soon, we finish regular coverage by wrapping the ATP season: it was basically the proof that Jannik Sinner’s late-2023 rise was for real, and that he and Carlos have taken the reins of the (mostly) post-Big 4 ATP. Just like the women’s wrap, we’ll take you through the events of the 2024 season, evaluate our picks for 2024 breakout players, and choose our ATP Award winners. We finish up with your memorable/funny/enraging moments (“do you want to change the lady?,” Indian Wells bee attack) and the many players saying goodbye to the sport.  GoFundMe   3:10 Where were we at the beginning of 2024? 10:30 Starting in Australia: Sinner risen 16:30 Clay: Rafa’s brief return, Watergate, and Carlos’ apology-fist pump-championship pipeline 22:20 Channel Slam and Novak’s white whale 29:20 Rafa’s retirement at Davis Cup 37:55 Off-court “drama”  41:55 Our 2024 breakout players + thoughts on the ATP Awards 50:00 What will you remember?
