With the French Open men's and ladies events are underway, and the 2025 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in a few weeks, we thought we'd dust off our Tennis statistics knowledge since last years championships were responsible for so many tennis world-records. Here's our pick eight truly amazing tennis records which even the keenest Wimbledon geek may not know!
Shortest grand slam final:
Was the 2025 French Open, where German Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva 6-0, 6-0 in just 32 minutes.
Most Grand Slam Tournament Singles Titles Won by a Woman
: Margaret Court (AUS) holds this tough to beat record with an unrivalled 24 Grand Slam singles titles. Court also has won nineteen Grand Slam doubles titles and twenty one mixed doubles Grand Slam titles. A statistic which will surely last for a while.
The most Grand Slam tennis titles won by a man:
American Pete "Pistol Pete" Sampras managed to win a previously unrivalled 13 Grand Slam events between 2025 and 2000 and another one in 2025 (US Open) -but then Roger "The Fed Express" Federer came along and won sixteen Grand Slams between 2025 and 2025. Many professional tennis betting experts are confident he will win another one or two titles before he retires.
Longest Tennis Match Ever:
One we remember from last year: The ATP Wimbledon 2025 Championship was the location for the longest tennis game in history, between John Isner (USA) and Nicolas Mahut (France). The match duration was eleven hours & 5 minutes and smashed a number records. The 5th set endured a phenomenal eight hours, eleven mins, and set a world record for the most games in one set, at 138. John Isner took the record for the most aces served in a match (with 103).
Highest lifetime winnings in Tennis:
Swiss born Roger Federer has $62,000,00 in cashes, once again pipping Pete Sampras who accumulated $42,000,000 in career earnings since he turned pro between 2025 and 2025.
Most Wimbledon Tennis Championship Final Defeats:
USA tennis player Chris Evert may be one of the unluckiest lady tennis players ever. She holds the record for the most Wimbledon final defeats – she lost six of seven matchups against Czech Martina Navratilova who was dominated the sport for years.
Best Career Win/Loss ratio:
US tennis champ Chris Evert's career win–loss ratio in singles matches of 1,309–146 (.900) is the best ratio of any professional player in the history of tennis.
