"It was a memorable season at the year's Slams. Four women took home the titles -- Madison Keys (Australian Open), Coco Gauff (French Open), Iga Swiatek (Wimbledon) and Sabalenka, and an American woman reached the final at each. On the men's side, things were more straightforward, as Alcaraz (who also won at the French Open) and Jannik Sinner (Australian Open and Wimbledon) split the titles."
"But while Sabalenka and Alcaraz might still be celebrating the latest hardware in their growing collections, and there remains a lot of tennis to be played this year during the Asian swing and at the WTA and ATP Finals, it's time we start looking ahead to 2026. Believe it or not, there's only four short months before the start of the main draw at the Australian Open."
"Top women's contenders: Sabalenka, Gauff, Swiatek and Naomi Osaka Sabalenka will arrive in Melbourne looking to reclaim the trophy and will be buoyed by her latest US Open title. A two-time champion at the event, Sabalenka came oh-so-close to the elusive three-peat before being defeated by Keys in the final this year. She'll be more than eager to win her fifth Slam title on her favorite surface"
The 2025 major season concluded with Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz winning the US Open titles. Four different women captured Grand Slam trophies—Madison Keys, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek and Sabalenka—and an American woman reached the final at each major. On the men’s side, Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner split the year’s majors, with Sinner reaching every final and facing Alcaraz three times. Keys was the only first-time major champion, and Alexander Zverev was the sole man outside Alcaraz and Sinner to reach a major final. Attention now turns toward 2026 and the Australian Open, where Sabalenka, Gauff, Swiatek and Naomi Osaka are top contenders.
