Jannik Sinner won eight titles during the 2024 season and seven of them came on hard courts, including the Australian Open, US Open and ATP Finals.

The Italian finished the year with a 55-3 win-loss record on the surface and those defeats came against Carlos Alcaraz at Indian Wells and Beijing, and Andrey Rublev in Canada.
