The blind of the tEmporada 2025 It is almost closed, but through that crack there is still room for some analysis. Today we are going to remember who were the tennis players who raised their first professional title in the last twelve months.
The news is bad because it always brings happiness. It means remembering the stories of those men and women who lived the happiest day of their lives, inaugurating their record and dusting off the display case for the first time. On this occasion, the season 2025 has given us a total of 15 new championsnine cases in the men’s circuit and six cases in the women’s circuit. Would you be able to list all the names? The answer is no, so we better give you a cable.
New champions on the ATP circuit
Alexandre Muller He is the first to appear on this list, simply because he was the fastest of all. The first week of the course and his appearance at the ATP 250 in Hong Kong were enough for him to achieve what he was pursuing so much. He did it at the age of 27, the oldest of all the names you will read in these lines.
So February arrived and new profiles followed in the Frenchman’s wake. As Joao Fonseca and his title at the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires at the age of 18, one of those talents that always anticipates any prediction. So much so that he still had time at the end of the course to also win the ATP 500 in Basel. What I said another level. Similar case of the Czech Jakub Mensikwho upped the ante by ruling a Masters 1000 like Miami, where his serve led him to glory, defeating a true Novak Djokovic in the final. Not bad for a 19 year old.
He had already collected his reward before Tomas Machac at the ATP 500 in Acapulco. The same thing that months later I would do Flavio Cobolli in the ATP 250 in Bucharest and the ATP 500 in Hamburg, the second player in this section capable of winning his first two titles in the same season. Of course, none of them caught more attention than the one that would break the deck completely in the month of October.
We are talking, of course, about Valentin Vacherot and his historic journey in the Shanghai Masters 1000, starting from the qualifying phase and closing the fortnight with the trophy in his hands. Another one who could also beat Novak Djokovic, although in his case it was his turn in the semifinals. Much better to meet in the most important final of your life with a family member, with your cousin Arthur Rinderkech. Whatever happened, we knew well that there would be no other story more powerful than this throughout the season.
The Canadian completes the list of players who won their first title Gabriel Diallo (ATP 250 ‘s-Hertogenbosch), the American Jenson Brooksby (ATP 250 Houston) and the also American Learner Tien (ATP 250 Metz). We would love to mention Alejandro Davidovich, but again fate wanted to make it difficult for him this calendar. I hope that in 2026 we will finally have him here.
New champions on the WTA circuit
We move to the women’s circuit and… what a surprise! Little by little it is being confirmed that times are changing. Now, after a long time, it seems that the most open and disordered circuit is the male circuit. We had to wait until April to see the first new WTA champion, but not just any one. He did it Maya Jointa 19-year-old Australian from whom you will hear great things in the medium term. Champion at the WTA 250 in Rabat and, half an hour later, also at the WTA 250 in Eastbourne. It will not be the only repeater in this area.
But if we talk about big eruptions, without a doubt we have to talk about Lois Drink and their semifinals at Roland Garros. For a moment we thought that she was doing it, that she was leaving Paris with the title, that no one could stop her. Until Cori Gauff brought her back down to earth. She would then take revenge at the WTA 250 in Hamburg, lifting her first official title and showing that what happened on the spring tour was no coincidence. Important protagonist in this session.
But not the most important, this label is worn on the street Victoria Mboko. A woman who started the course outside the top300 and finishes within the top20. By the way, all this at 19 years old. And how did he do it? Well, winning a WTA 1000 in Canada and closing the year with a second crown in the WTA 250 in Hong Kong. Come and stay, basically. A prodigy called to great things in the next season, this is just the beginning.
The Frenchwoman completes the list of new champions Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah (WTA 250 in Sao Paulo), the American Iva Jovic (WTA 500 Guadalajara) and Indonesia Janice Earn (WTA 250 Chennai). A very productive course, with a lot of hierarchy, but with increasing difficulty for new talents to debut their record. You have to be very good today to get a piece of the cake that the calendar offers.
