Before his debut at the Australian Open, the Italian expressed his satisfaction with the direction of the preseason, articulated some objectives, and briefly touched on his rivalry with Alcaraz.

October 21, 2024, that was the date when Aryna Sabalenka climbed, for the second time in her career, to World No. 1. Just after capturing that title in Wuhan, she secured the points she needed to surpass Iga Swiatek at the top, and since then, nothing has changed. Today, exactly twelve months later, the Belarusian has managed to complete a full year ruling the circuit. In fact, considering the amount of points she holds, it is likely that she will remain on the throne for some extra time. Approaching her 62nd week at the top of the WTA rankings this week, her next goal will be to match Simona Halep's 64 weeks as number one. Just a matter of days.

Iga Swiatek is only 23 years old, but she seems destined to make history. With over a decade of tennis ahead of her, the Polish player is already approaching historic records and continues to build tremendous dominance at the top of the WTA ranking: today, she completes 122 weeks as number one, becoming the seventh player in history to have spent the most time at the top. Iga has just surpassed Ashleigh Barty, from whom she took over, and aims to approach her next target, Monica Seles (178 weeks). The leader remains practically unreachable, though: Steffi Graf with 377 weeks at the top.

Aryna Sabalenka has reached a milestone today as the queen of the WTA circuit. The Belarusian now has 70 weeks at the top of the rankings, but perhaps there is another even more impressive statistic: with 62 consecutive weeks at the top, Aryna is already the fifth player with the most consecutive weeks as number one in this century, only behind legends like Martina Hingis (73), Iga Swiatek (75 whom she will seek to surpass to remain the most dominant), Ash Barty (114), and Serena Williams (186). Are there real possibilities of breaking a record like this? It would certainly mean establishing a true hegemony.

Despite the defeat in the Roland Garros 2025 final, Jannik Sinner can still find reasons to smile. The Italian continues to increase his weeks as number one: this will be number 54 at the top of the ATP ranking, highlighting his regularity and consistency. It is also his first stint as number one for the Italian... and it's already one of the best in history: Jannik is already the fourth player with the most consecutive weeks as number one in his first stint at the top, surpassing Novak Djokovic, who had 53 weeks from his debut at Wimbledon 2011 until he lost it at Wimbledon 2012. Ahead of the Italian are only Lleyton Hewitt (75 weeks), Jimmy Connors (160), and Roger Federer (the leader with the astronomical figure of 237). Will he manage to reach any of them?

Sinner emerges as the favorite to finish a season as the world number one for the first time... although Zverev and Alcaraz still have something to say about it.
