During the Australian Open, ATPTour.com will bring fans insight into the leaders of key statistical categories, showing how performances throughout 2025 all added up to successful seasons and the promise of more good times ahead in 2026.

Jannik Sinner could do it all in 2025 and the data backs it up. Whether points were decided in a flash or forged through punishing baseline exchanges, the Italian consistently came out on top, showcasing a completeness that defined his season.

Sinner led the Tour by winning 56.9 per cent of rallies lasting 0–4 shots, underlining his ability to strike early and dictate with authority from the first ball. At the other end of the spectrum, he was just as effective when patience was required, topping the Tour by winning 58 per cent of rallies of nine shots or more.

The numbers illustrate a player comfortable winning points on his own terms. Armed with heavy, precise groundstrokes, Sinner was relentless in extended exchanges, absorbing pressure before turning defence into attack. Yet when opportunities arose to shorten points, he wasted little time, stepping inside the baseline to finish with conviction.

That versatility proved pivotal across a trophy-laden campaign. From first-strike tennis on faster courts to grinding out victories in physical battles, Sinner’s adaptability helped separate him from the field and reinforced his status as one of the Tour’s most complete operators.

The No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings won majors at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, defended his title at the Nitto ATP Finals, lifted an ATP Masters 1000 trophy in Paris and clinched ATP 500 titles in Beijing and Vienna.
