In 2025, it wasn't just Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. The two best players in the world monopolized the Grand Slam titles as in the previous season, but several other ATP tour members managed to make a name for themselves by winning their first trophy this year. In total, nine players have won at least one tournament, and Tennis TV has recapped the players involved (see video below).

Two players on the list have won two titles this season

Among them, Alexandre Muller. The Frenchman dominated Kei Nishikori in Hong Kong and lifted his first title on the day of his second final. The new generation also triumphed, notably with Jakub Mensik who won his first Masters 1000 in Miami, João Fonseca who won in Buenos Aires by beating four Argentines during the tournament, and Learner Tien in Metz.

One of the great stories of the season is Valentin Vacherot, ranked outside the top 200 upon arrival at the Shanghai Masters 1000. After passing the qualifiers, the Monegasque eliminated Djere, Bublik, Machac, Griekspoor, Rune, and Djokovic during his run before dominating his cousin Rinderknech in an unprecedented final.

It should be noted that among the nine players who opened their ATP record this year, only two managed to win a second one later in the season: Fonseca (Buenos Aires, Basel) and Cobolli (Bucharest, Hamburg).

The first titles of ATP players in 2025:

- Alexandre Muller in Hong Kong;
- João Fonseca in Buenos Aires;
- Tomas Machac in Acapulco;
- Jakub Mensik in Miami;
- Jenson Brooksby in Houston;
- Flavio Cobolli in Bucharest;
- Gabriel Diallo in s-Hertogenbosch;
- Valentin Vacherot in Shanghai;
- Learner Tien in Metz.

I am surprised about relatively low attendance at Roland Garros which was the most popular slam 20+ years ago. I myself love it as well as really loving aus and us opens. I don't care about Wimbledon, sometimes maybe I can watch women's tennis. I hate Wimbledon's white dress code, I feel like I am watching junior tennis...I watched very few matches like Graf davenport final in 1999 the last time.....

It will really be befitting if he attains his 25th Grand Slam crown at the AO for he's truly the GOAT & this will stamp him & endorse his GOAT status without an iota of doubt

Almost as important to Djokovic as Slam #25--and requiring less luck--is beating Federer's total of 103 singles titles. He'll play 250s, and might even surpass Connors's 109.
