Six Americans finished the 2025 season inside the year-end Top 10- two men (Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton) and four women (Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova, Jessica Pegula, and Madison Keys). It also marks the first time since 2004 that four American women ended the year ranked in the WTA Top 10.
Taylor Fritz (World No. 6)
Fritz started 2025 with strong serving and confident baseline play. However, the clay season proved to be his biggest hurdle. He struggled on the surface, lost in the opening round of the French Open, and finished with a 3–4 record. An injury early in the year also disrupted his momentum and forced him to skip essential events, such as Monte Carlo.
The grass court season was the highlight of his 2025. After years of promising runs at Wimbledon, Fritz finally delivered in 2025 by reaching his first semifinal there. He backed this performance with ATP titles at Stuttgart and Eastbourne.
Fritz also reached the quarterfinals of the US Open. He finally wrapped up the season with a 53–23 record and secured a year-end ranking of No. 6.
Ben Shelton (World No. 9)
Ben Shelton’s 2025 season was quite good. He won his first ATP Masters 1000 title, reached a new career-high ranking of World No. 5, and ended the year inside the Top 10 at No. 9 with a 40–21 record.
Shelton made it to the semifinals at the Australian Open, the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, and the fourth round at the French Open. His biggest moment came in Toronto, where he won the Canadian Open and became the youngest American to win a Masters 1000 title since Andy Roddick in 2004.
Shelton also qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time in his career. However, he went 0–3 in the round-robin phase. Although he missed some events due to his injury, he backed up the season with strong runs, including a final in Munich and semifinal finishes in Stuttgart and Washington, D.C.
Coco Gauff (World No. 3)
Gauff’s 2025 season was full of ups and downs. She started with a title win for Team USA at the United Cup and a quarterfinal run at the Australian Open. Her most significant achievement came at the French Open, where she won the singles title by beating Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set final.
After her Roland Garros win, Gauff struggled on grass. She lost early in Berlin and had an unexpected first-round exit at Wimbledon. She bounced back later in the season and made the fourth round at the US Open.
She also reached the finals in Madrid and Rome, won the WTA 1000 title in Wuhan during the Asian swing, and won a doubles title in Montreal. Gauff finished 2025 with a 47–16 win-loss record.
Amanda Anisimova (World No. 4)
Anisimova had the best year of her career in 2025, jumping from No. 36 to a career-high ranking of World No. 4. She also reached her first two Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon and the US Open.
She also had a fourth-round run at Roland Garros and a second-round result at the Australian Open. In addition to the Slams, she won two WTA 1000 titles in Doha and Beijing.
Anisimova also became the only player in 2025 to beat all four Grand Slam champions- Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Świątek, Coco Gauff, and Madison Keys. She qualified for the WTA Finals for the first time, reached the semifinals there, and ended the season with a 47–18 win-loss record.
Jessica Pegula (World No. 6)
Pegula also had a strong 2025 season. She won three singles titles and finished the year with another deep run at the WTA Finals. Although her Grand Slam results were not great, she stayed consistent enough to be one of only four players to earn 50+ match wins this year.
Pegula also made history in her own career by winning titles on three different surfaces- Austin on hard courts, Charleston on clay, and Bad Homburg on grass. She was also the finalist in Adelaide, Miami, and Wuhan.
She reached the semifinals of the WTA Finals for the second time, where she lost to eventual champion Elena Rybakina. Pegula ended the season with a 53–23 record.
Madison Keys (World No. 7)
Keys enjoyed a career-defining 2025 season. She started the year strong by winning the Adelaide International and got her first Grand Slam victory at the Australian Open by beating World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set final. She also achieved a new career-high ranking of World No. 5 in February.
Keys backed up her breakthrough year by reaching the quarterfinals at the French Open and the fourth round at Wimbledon, although she exited early at the US Open. She also qualified for the WTA Finals for the second time in her career, but unfortunately had to withdraw due to illness. Keys ended the season with a 37-15 win-loss record.
