Crazy sinner. The world number 1 closes the year and sends it to the attic as one of the best seasons of all time in the Open era. With the victory against Tallon Grieskspoor, in the Davis Cup final in Malaga, the world number one won 73 matches in a year, with only 6 defeatswith a incredible 92.4% success ratethus reaching the ninth performance all time, just one inch behind Federer in 2004 (74-6, 92.50%), the year in which the Swiss also became no. 1 in the world for the first time, remaining there 237 weeks in a row. Throughout history only 6 players did better than Sinner from this point of view in a single season: McEnroe, Connors, Borg, Djokovic Federer and Lendl. The record is represented by the legendary 1984 of John McEnroe which remains, to this day, the year with the highest percentage of victories, 96.47%the result of 82 successes and only 3 defeats.
