The stars of the ATP and WTA rewrote history time and time again in 2025, and this week on TENNIS.com we’re celebrating some of their biggest achievements with our top five stats of the year.

So far this week, we’ve covered Jannik Sinner becoming the youngest player ever to reach the final of all four Grand Slams and the ATP Finals in the same season, and Aryna Sabalenka winning 19 tie-breaks in a row this year, breaking the record for most tie-breaks won in a row by a woman in the Open Era.

Today, we go from a streak of 19 to a streak of 20…

In May, right before Roland Garros, Novak Djokovic wrote his name even deeper into the tennis history books, capturing the 100th tour-level title of his career in Geneva—that made him just the third man in the Open Era to hit triple-digit career titles, after fellow legends Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer.

But there was another reason that victory was historic, and it was a piece of history he didn’t have to share with anyone else.

By winning the title in Geneva, Djokovic became the first man in the Open Era to capture a title in 20 different seasons.

And he’s done it in 20 consecutive seasons, 2006 to 2025.

The previous record belonged to Rafael Nadal, who won a title in 19 different seasons, also consecutively, from 2004 to 2022.

More impressively, in 19 of those 20 years, Djokovic has won at least two titles—including as a 19-year-old in 2006 in Amersfoort and Metz, and as a 38-year-old in 2025 in Geneva and Athens.

He’s also won at least one Grand Slam title in 13 of those years.
