The stars of the ATP and WTA rewrote history time and time again in 2025, and this week on TENNIS.com we’ve been celebrating some of their biggest achievements with our top five stats of the year.
So far, we’ve covered Jannik Sinner becoming the youngest player ever to reach the final of all four Grand Slams and the ATP Finals in the same season, Aryna Sabalenka breaking the record for most tie-breaks won in a row by a woman in the Open Era, Novak Djokovic becoming the first man in the Open Era to win a title in 20 different seasons and Carlos Alcaraz becoming the youngest man ever to win multiple Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces.
Iga Swiatek achieved a lot by winning Wimbledon this year—she became the first woman to win her first six Grand Slam finals since Monica Seles and the youngest woman to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces since Serena Williams, to name a few.
But the way she won it was even rarer—in fact, it’s never happened before, and it’s very possible it will never happen again.
By winning her semifinal match against Belinda Bencic, 6-2, 6-0, and her final match against Amanda Anisimova, 6-0, 6-0, she became the first tennis player ever—female or male—to reel off three bagel sets to finish off winning a Grand Slam singles title.
