Top 10 wins, match point saves and more

This week, we break down some of the key numbers behind the 2025 WTA Tour season — from first-time milestones to noteworthy upsets and from the longest matches to the best three-set records.

Year-end rankings wrap | Stats wrap, part 1: Champions and finalists

Part two of the 2025 statistics wrap covers Top 10 wins, winning streaks and victories from match point down.

Who posted the most Top 10 wins in 2025?

In total, 64 players scored at least one Top 10 win during the 2025 season — with World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka leading the way with 15. All 64 are as follows, by number of Top 10 wins:

15: Aryna Sabalenka
10: Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova, Elena Rybakina
9: Iga Swiatek
6: Mirra Andreeva
5: Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys, Ekaterina Alexandrova, Linda Noskova
4: Jasmine Paolini, Clara Tauson, Elina Svitolina, Liudmila Samsonova, Jelena Ostapenko, Marketa Vondrousova
3: Belinda Bencic, Anna Kalinskaya, Laura Siegemund
2: Emma Navarro, Leylah Fernandez, Paula Badosa, Sofia Kenin, McCartney Kessler, Lois Boisson, Alexandra Eala, Magda Linette, Wang Xinyu, Peyton Stearns, Donna Vekic, Ons Jabeur
1: Naomi Osaka, Victoria Mboko, Karolina Muchova, Elise Mertens, Zheng Qinwen, Marta Kostyuk, Dayana Yastremska, Emma Raducanu, Daria Kasatkina, Eva Lys, Tatjana Maria, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, Sorana Cirstea, Ashlyn Krueger, Katerina Siniakova, Anastasia Potapova, Maria Sakkari, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Magdalena Frech, Danielle Collins, Olga Danilovic, Sonay Kartal, Renata Zarazua, Elisabetta Cocciaretto, Polina Kudermetova, Moyuka Uchijima, Kimberly Birrell, Katie Boulter, Kamilla Rakhimova, Aoi Ito, Taylor Townsend, Zhu Lin, Anastasija Sevastova

Fourteen players scored their first career Top 10 win in 2025: Kessler, Boisson, Eala, Stearns, Mboko, Lys, Krueger, Kartal, Zarazua, Polina Kudermetova, Uchijima, Birrell, Rakhimova and Ito.

Only nine players finished 2025 with a positive record against Top 10 opposition. They are as follows, ordered by winning percentage against Top 10 opponents.

80: Ostapenko (4-1)
75: Sabalenka (15-5)
67: Anisimova (10-5), Vondrousova (4-2), Boisson (2-1)
63: Rybakina (10-6)
60: Andreeva (6-4)
59: Gauff (10-7)
53: Swiatek (9-8)

(In a very on-brand statistic, Ostapenko’s 4-1 record against Top 10 opponents in 2025 is mirrored by her 3-6 record against opponents ranked outside the Top 100.)

Who were the lowest-ranked players to upset a Top 10 opponent?

There were 35 matches in 2025 in which a player ranked outside the Top 50 defeated a player ranked inside the Top 10, and 14 in which the winner was ranked outside the Top 100. Ordered by the winner’s ranking at the time (with the Top 10 player’s ranking in brackets), they are as follows: 

53. Kessler d. Gauff (3), Dubai R2
55. Danilovic d. Pegula (6), Australian Open R3
56. Uchijima d. Pegula (3), Madrid R3
56. Kenin d. Paolini (4), Dubai R3
57. Siegemund d. Andreeva (5), Wuhan R2
58. Bencic d. Gauff (3), Indian Wells R4
60. Vondrousova d. Paolini (8), US Open R3
60. Raducanu d. Navarro (10), Miami R2
60. Vondrousova d. Rybakina (10), US Open R4
61. Jabeur d. Paolini (5), Berlin R2
66. Lys d. Rybakina (10), Beijing R3

85. Mboko d. Gauff (2), Montreal R4
86. Maria d. Keys (8), Queen’s SF
89. Cirstea d. Navarro (9), Dubai R3
97. Siegemund d. Zheng (5), Australian Open R2

113. Birrell d. Navarro (8), Brisbane R2
116. Cocciaretto d. Pegula (3), Wimbledon R1
139. Townsend d. Andreeva (5), US Open R3
140. Eala d. Swiatek (2), Miami QF
140. Eala d. Keys (5), Miami R3
157. Bencic d. Rybakina (5), Abu Dhabi SF

361. Boisson d. Pegula (3), Roland Garros R3

386. Sevastova d. Pegula (4), Montreal R3

How many players defeated both the World No. 1 and World No. 2 in the same tournament?

Only four players achieved the feat of defeating both of the world’s two top-ranked players in the same tournament:

Madison Keys, Australian Open
SF: d. Iga Swiatek 5-7, 6-1, 7-6[8]
F: d. Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 2-6, 7-5

Mirra Andreeva, Indian Wells
SF: d. Swiatek 7-6(1), 1-6, 6-3
F. d. Sabalenka 2-6, 6-4, 6-3

Jelena Ostapenko, Stuttgart
QF: d. Swiatek 6-3, 3-6, 6-2
F: d. Sabalenka 6-4, 6-1

Elena Rybakina, WTA Finals Riyadh
RR: d. Swiatek 3-6, 6-1, 6-0
F: d. Sabalenka 6-3, 7-6(0)

(In another on-brand statistic, Ostapenko’s next match after defeating World No. 1 Sabalenka in the Stuttgart final was a loss in the Madrid second round to the unranked Anastasija Sevastova.)

Who had the longest winning streaks of 2025?

There were five double-digit winning streaks at tour level (including Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers and Finals) in 2025:

16: Madison Keys (W Adelaide, W Australian Open, SF Indian Wells)
13: Mirra Andreeva (W Dubai, W Indian Wells, R3 Miami)
11: Aryna Sabalenka (W Brisbane, F Australian Open)
11: Elina Svitolina (Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers, W Rouen, SF Madrid)
11: Elena Rybakina (W Ningbo, SF Tokyo*, W WTA Finals Riyadh)

*Rybakina gave a walkover to Linda Noskova in the Tokyo semifinals, which does not snap her winning streak.

Seven tour-level winning streaks are currently active: Rybakina (11), Belinda Bencic (6), Irina-Camelia Begu (5), Victoria Mboko (5), Anna Blinkova (5), Janice Tjen (5) and Naomi Osaka (2).

How many times did reigning Grand Slam champions face each other?

There were five matches between reigning Grand Slam champions in 2025, compared to nine in 2024, 12 in 2023 and zero in 2022. They were:

Indian Wells SF, Aryna Sabalenka d. Madison Keys 6-0, 6-1
Madrid QF, Iga Swiatek d. Keys 0-6, 6-3, 6-2
Roland Garros SF, Sabalenka d. Swiatek 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-0
WTA Finals Riyadh RR, Swiatek d. Keys 6-1, 6-2
WTA Finals Riyadh RR, Sabalenka d. Coco Gauff 7-6(5), 6-2

Swiatek’s career record in such matches is 15-7, Sabalenka’s is 6-6, Gauff’s is 1-6 and Keys’ is 0-3.
