This week on Tennis.com, we’ll bring you five stories—one a day—that highlight the leaderboards of one statistic from the 2025 season.

First on the menu, who served up the most aces this year?

On the women’s tour, it wasn’t even close—with 516, not only was Elena Rybakina the only player to surpass 500 aces during the 2025 season, she was the only player to even surpass 400.

She’s actually just the second woman in the last 15 years to hit 500 or more aces in a single season, alongside Karolina Pliskova, who achieved the feat two times in 2015 (517) and 2016 (530).

It’s the second time the Kazakh has finished at No. 1 on the ace leaders list in her career, after 2020. She was close to doing it again the last three years, finishing at No. 2 in 2022 (after Caroline Garcia), 2023 (again after Garcia) and 2024 (after Zheng Qinwen).

Now, the 2022 Wimbledon champion is back on top.

MOST ACES ON WOMEN'S TOUR IN 2025:

  • 516: Elena Rybakina
  • 373: Linda Noskova
  • 358: Clara Tauson
  • 339: Ekaterina Alexandrova
  • 307: Naomi Osaka

Taylor Fritz ranks his best matches of 2025

Meanwhile, over on the men’s tour, Taylor Fritz finishes as No. 1 on the ace leaders list for the first time in his career with 867 aces.

Like Rybakina, Fritz was close the last few years, finishing at No. 2 in 2023 (after Hubert Hurkacz) and at No. 3 in 2024 (after Alexander Zverev and again Hurkacz), but this year he comes out on top.

And it’s an American 1-2 sweep, with Reilly Opelka in second place.

MOST ACES ON MEN'S TOUR IN 2025:

  • 867: Taylor Fritz
  • 790: Reilly Opelka
  • 783: Felix Auger-Aliassime
  • 679: Jakub Mensik
  • 674: Alexander Bublik

Tomorrow, we move from serving up aces to lifting up trophies…
