Five New Masters 1000 Winners, a Rare Feat in the 21st Century

The ATP Tour has never seemed so open. Five players have clinched their first Masters 1000 title this season, a number that signals a changing of the guard.

While 2025 has been defined by a duel between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the Grand Slams, the Masters 1000 tournaments have had their share of surprises.

Out of the eight tournaments in this category played this year (only Paris remains at the end of the month), five players have been crowned champions for the first time. They are Jack Draper (Indian Wells), Jakub Mensik (Miami), Casper Ruud (Madrid), Ben Shelton (Toronto), and Valentin Vacherot (Shanghai).

As noted by Jeu, Set et Maths, this is the third time in the 21st century that a season has featured five new Masters 1000 winners. It happened in 2001 (Ferrero, Portas, Pavel, Haas, and Grosjean) and more recently in 2022 (Fritz, Alcaraz, Carreno Busta, Coric, and Rune).

10e, 2990 points

19e, 2180 points

12e, 2835 points

9e, 3970 points

31e, 1483 points

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
