Jannik Sinner says a "new chapter is starting" in his career after he became the first Italian to be crowned world number one.

The 22-year-old replaced Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings on Monday, with the Serb dropping to third after 39 weeks at the top.

Sinner has had a stellar 2024 so far, winning the Australian Open in January and the Miami Open in March.

He reached the semi-finals of the French Open, losing to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in five sets.

"We go hunting now and see what we can catch," Sinner told the BBC World Service.
