WTA: Which Player Spent the Most Hours on Court in 2025?
The X account, Jeu, Set et Maths, a specialist in tennis-related statistics, revealed this: "The highest number of cumulative hours spent on court in 2025 (in singles, main tour)."
WTA 2025: A Race of Endurance
And it's Elena Rybakina who finished 2025 as the queen of time spent on court.
A statistic that speaks volumes about the insane intensity of her season and the evolution of a WTA tour where endurance is becoming almost as decisive as pure talent.
Rybakina, the Marathon Runner of Modern Tennis
Indeed, with 129h18, the 26-year-old player reached a colossal total.
And rarely demonstrative, she nevertheless stated this: "I have never spent so many hours fighting on a court."
A statement that reflects the XXL season of the Kazakh player.
Swiatek Close Behind
Just 1h05 behind (128h13), Iga Swiatek is in the leading duo.
But while the Polish player displays almost mechanical consistency, her volume of hours reveals a trend: she was pushed to play more long battles than usual.
Accustomed to quick victories, the six-time Grand Slam champion had to adapt this year to a more unpredictable and aggressive tour. An evolution that could briefly explain some less controlled moments in 2025.
