No. 13-ranked Jannik Sinner won an all-Top 15 battle against No. 14-ranked Diego Schwartzman in the final of Antwerp on Sunday, 6-2, 6-2, and with the win—which brought him the fifth ATP title of his career—he joined some pretty elite company.

The 20-year-old Sinner is the youngest man to capture five ATP titles since a 19-year-old Novak Djokovic won his fifth career ATP title at Estoril in 2007.

Sinner won his first ATP title at Sofia at the end of last year and has now won four more this year at Melbourne-1, Washington D.C., Sofia and Antwerp.

Djokovic won his first two career ATP titles at Amersfoort and Metz in 2006 and then his next three at Adelaide, Miami (a Masters 1000) and Estoril in 2007—the Serb actually won Estoril a few weeks before his 20th birthday.

Today, Djokovic has 85 career ATP titles, including 20 majors.
