Stats Review: The 2024 Tennis Season in Numbers
by Tyler Doty | by Tyler Doty
The Domination of Jannik Sinner
The year 2024 has been a breakout year for Jannik Sinner! Long hindered by injuries, the Italian tennis player dominated the ATP tour from start to finish. With a staggering win percentage of 92.4%, Sinner’s dominance on the court was clear throughout the season.
From his first Grand Slam successes in Australia and the US Open, he has earned the new status of world number one. Looking ahead to next season, betting on Jannik Sinner could be automatic, as the best player of the season still has room to improve, particularly on clay and grass courts.
Behind the Italian, who has performed consistently all season, we find familiar names such as Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Alexander Zverev. This "Big Four" regularly ensures bettors a high chance of success when predicting tennis outcomes. For the Americans, Tommy Paul finishes with the highest win percentage, particularly thanks to high finishes in ATP 250 and 500 tournaments, where he shined this season.
Win Percentage in 2024: Top 10
- Jannik Sinner: 92.4%
- Carlos Alcaraz: 80.6%
- Novak Djokovic: 80.4%
- Alexander Zverev: 76.7%
- Matteo Berrettini: 72.7%

Carlos Alcaraz: Master of London Grass
It might have seemed like a fantasy to imagine a Spaniard as the best grasscourt player in the world two decades ago. However, in 2024, Carlos Alcaraz showed the tennis world that he is indeed the top player on grass!
Winner of Wimbledon and Queens in 2023, the Spanish player maintained his dominance in London in 2024, retaining his trophy with ease after a flawless campaign. Over the last two seasons, Alcaraz boasts an 18-1 record on grass, making him the best player on this fast surface.
A Year of Decline for Novak Djokovic?
At the top of the tennis world for many years, Novak Djokovic has shown signs of regression in his game for the first time. Is it a lack of motivation and desire?
Not winning a Grand Slam title this year, the Serb salvaged his season by securing the one title missing from his illustrious career, the Olympic Gold in Paris. With a 37-9 win-loss record in 2024, Djokovic seemed to be in the background, allowing the new generation to take charge.
What will Novak Djokovic look like in 2025? With his dominance waning, betting on his opponents may become more prudent, as the Serbian slowly nears the end of his career. This could offer interesting tennis odds in Masters 1000 events and Grand Slams!
The Americans, Performing Well at Home
It's been difficult for American men's tennis to find a balance in recent years. Often absent from late rounds at Grand Slam events, they tend to play best on American soil. In terms of surface, the Americans continue to excel on hard courts.
Tommy Paul (Stockholm, London Queen's Club, Dallas), Taylor Fritz (Delray Beach, Eastbourne), Sebastian Korda (Washington) and Ben Shelton (Houston) represented the stars and stripes with pride, even though their results in major tournaments have been inconsistent. So if you plan on betting on the Americans, keep an eye on the US tournaments.
Alexander Zverev and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard Dominate Aces
The serve is often a crucial factor for bettors when predicting tennis outcomes, as knowing which player excels in their service game can pay off. In this area, Alexander Zverev has been the most prolific this season with an impressive 797 aces in 2024.
