Cheers to another memorable season.

10) Nick Kyrgios fined, banned by ATP tour for tanking a match

Kyrgios had his most successful season, winning his first three titles and finishing a career-high No. 13. But the most controversial player in men’s tennis stumbled along the way, and his season ended in disaster. The 21-year-old didn’t muster much of an effort in a loss to Mischa Zverev in Shanghai, and was subsequently fined $41,500 by the ATP tour and suspended for eight weeks. The Australian agreed to see a sports psychologist, offered to him by the ATP, and had his suspension reduced. Will Kyrgios turn over a new leaf in 2017, or will it be more of the same? Only time will tell for the sport’s resident bad boy.

9) Argentina finally ends its Davis Cup drought

Coming into 2016, Argentina had never won a Davis Cup title. In existence since 1921, the team had been a runner-up four times, and after upsetting defending-champion Great Britain in the semifinals, it felt like destiny was on its side for a change. Facing a talented Croatian team in Zagreb, the Argentinians fell behind 2-1 after losing Saturday’s doubles match. Needing two wins to pull off a stunning upset on Sunday, Juan Martin del Potro came from two sets down to beat Marin Cilic. In the fifth and deciding rubber, Federico Delbonis topped Ivo Karlovic in straight sets to complete the comeback and seal Argentina’s first championship.

8) Stan Wawrinka wins third career Grand Slam at U.S. Open

When Wawrinka is on, there’s no better player in the world. We saw that in Melbourne in 2014, at Roland Garros in 2015 and again in Flushing Meadows this past September. The 31-year-old Swiss defeated Del Potro and Kei Nishikori in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively, to set up a 2015 French Open final rematch against Novak Djokovic. The clear underdog against the then-world No. 1, Wawrinka came from a set down to beat the Serb, 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. Wawrinka improved to 3-0 in Grand Slam finals—tying Andy Murray’s major total in the process—and reminded us that he’s one of the most clutch players in the sport.

7) Monica Puig captures Puerto Rico’s first gold medal in Rio de Janeiro

It’s hard to believe that, coming into the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, Puerto Rico had never before won a gold medal. It’s even harder to believe that Puig, who began the season ranked 92nd, would end the nation’s drought. A relative unknown to those outside the tennis world, Puig burst onto the scene in Brazil and played the best tennis of her life. The unseeded 23-year-old won six matches in a row, including victories over No. 14 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, No. 3 seed Garbine Muguruza, No. 11 seed Petra Kvitova and No. 2 seed Angelique Kerber (gold-medal match). She returned to the WTA tour a legitimate threat in women’s tennis and, more importantly, a national hero.

6) Serena Williams ties Steffi Graf for most Grand Slam singles titles in Open era

It seemed inevitable, but it took much longer than most expected. After winning her 21st career singles major at Wimbledon in 2015, Serena failed to tie Graf on three straight occasions. She crashed out in the 2015 U.S. Open semis and lost in the finals of the first two Grand Slams of 2016. Finally, at the All England Club in July, the legendary American had a massive weight lifted off her shoulders when she took home a seventh Wimbledon title, dropping just one set along the way. Now tied atop the list, can Serena make history in 2017 with Grand Slam No. 23? There’s every reason to think so.
