If you’re trying to review the whole 2025 tennis season, it’s a long process to go through all the players, and all the tournaments. We’ve made it easy for you, by summing up the top 50 ATP players’ season, in a single sentence.
1. Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) – 12050: One of the greatest seasons of all time.
2. Jannik Sinner (Italy) – 11500: Any other player might’ve collapsed under the pressure this year. Stunning season.
3. Alexander Zverev (Germany) – 5160: Not his best year, but didn’t have to be to lock down 3rd.
4. Novak Djokovic (Serbia) – 4830: Only injury, Sinner and Alcaraz stand between him and another Major.
5. Felix Auger-Aliassime (Canada) – 4245: Imagine if he finds his best tennis at the Slams and Masters events…!
6. Taylor Fritz (USA) – 4135: Pretty solid year without anything spectacular.
7. Alex de Minaur (Australia) – 4135: Continues to knock on the door, but the top guys aren’t letting him in.
8. Lorenzo Musetti (Italy) – 4040: Will need to improve away from the clay.
9. Ben Shelton (USA) – 3970: Top 10 finish, and a Masters win is a great year.
10. Jack Draper (Great Britain) – 2990: Certainty for top 5 if he gets a clear run in 2026.
11. Alexander Bublik (Kazakhstan) – 2870: The enigma. Four titles across 3 surfaces shows what a talent he his.
12. Casper Ruud (Norway) – 2835: No consistency at all in the second half of the year.
13. Daniil Medvedev (Russia) – 2760: Resurrected his season in the last few months.

17. Jiri Lehecka (Czech Republic) – 2325: Capable of more…or is he?

19. Jakub Mensik (Czech Republic) – 2180: A Masters 1000 title at age 19 suggests his ceiling is high.
20. Tommy Paul (USA) – 2100: Some good results early, but injury caught up with him after the US Open.
21. Francisco Cerundolo (Argentina) – 2085: Will need to have a strong first half of the season to hold his ranking.
22. Flavio Cobolli (Italy) – 2025: Two titles and a quarter-final appearance at Wimbledon is a massive year.
23. Denis Shapovalov (Canada) – 1675: Showed glimpses of his best, but should be a top 15 player consistently.
24. Joao Fonseca (Brazil) – 1635: Lived up the the hype, and handled the pressure well.

27. Cameron Norrie (Great Britain) – 1573: Loves a big match, as shown by his win over Sinner.
28. Learner Tien (USA) – 1550: If it wasn’t for Fonseca, he’d get a lot more love…and deserves it!

30. Frances Tiafoe (USA) – 1510: Only won more than two matches in a tournament twice this year.

37. Ugo Humbert (France) – 1380: Compared to his last couple of years, not a lot to get excited about.
38. Alex Michelsen (USA) – 1325: Remained fairly static in the rankings, and would be hoping to make a jump in 2026.
39. Lorenzo Sonego (Italy) – 1265: QF at AO, and 4th Rd at Wimbledon shows his talent, but at 30yo, has he missed his window?

47. Nuno Borges (Portugal) – 1145: Stagnant in the rankings for a couple of years, and hard to see much movement upwards coming.
48. Sebastian Korda (USA) – 1100: Big expectations, but just hasn’t been delivering. Next year?
