Jannik Sinner was awarded the trophy for finishing the year at No. 1 in the rankings before his home fans at the ATP Finals on Tuesday.

Sinner won the Australian Open and US Open for his first two Grand Slam titles. He mathematically secured the year-end No. 1 a month ago.

"There's no place better to celebrate this trophy," Sinner said as his mom, Siglinde, looked on in tears. "Thanks for all of your support."

Sinner, 23, is the 19th different player to claim the year-end honour and the 29th man overall to be No. 1.
