11,500 players, 1261 events: The 2025 ITF World Tennis Tour in numbers
The ITF World Tennis Tour continued to develop and grow in 2025, with additional investment seeing record prize money paid out to players on the tour and new records set in terms of numbers of players and events.
A total of 11,595 players took part in 1,261 tournaments as competitive opportunities increased (up from 10,979 players and 1,200 events in 2024).
A total of 638 men’s and 627 women’s tournaments were staged through the year on the ITF World Tennis Tour (up from 602 women’s and 598 men’s events in 2024) with 77 different hosting countries.
$18.56million in prize money
A record $18.56million in prize money was paid out for women’s events in 2025 (up from 17.87million in 2024) with a record $13.08million on offer to the men (up from $11.32million in 2024).
The ITF World Tennis Tour also continued the journey towards gender parity in 2025, an important part of Advantage All, the ITF’s gender equality strategy. There were 206 events across the ITF World Tennis Tour W50-W75-W100 and WTA 125 categories in 2025, a record number and only marginally shy of the 217 events on the ATP Challenger Tour.
Australia's Dane Sweeney led the Tour for the most singles titles, claiming eight men's singles crowns, and also reached the most finals overall with 10. Three players claimed six men's titles - Tunisia's Moez Echargui, Great Britain's Alastair Gray, and South Africa’s Philip Henning.
Sweeney also recorded the most match-wins on the ITF World Tennis Tour with a 66-15 win-loss record.
Daria Khomutsianskaya won the most women's singles titles with seven, though Janice Tjen, of Indonesia, used the Tour as the greatest springboard to further success.

Tjen reached nine finals on the ITF World Tennis Tour during the year, winning six titles and ended the year at No. 53 in the world - a jump of 525 spots on 2024. She would go on to win eight professional titles and 12 finals overall in 2025 - reaching the title match at every level of professional women's tennis from W15 through to WTA 250 level: W15 (one title), 5 W35 finals (4 titles), one W50 title, one W75 final, one W100 final, one WTA125 title, and 2 WTA 250 finals (one title).
At W50-level and above, Austria's Sinja Kraus and Croatia's Petra Marcinko enjoyed the most successful season on the ITF World Tennis Tour as both secured four title-victories. Kraus ended the year just outside the world's top 100, having peaked at No. 105 in November, while Marcinko leapt to a career-high No. 82 after ending her season with back-to-back wins in the UAE at W75 Fujairah and W100 Dubai.
A crucial role in driving rising talent
The ITF World Tennis Tour continues to play a crucial role in driving rising talent from junior competition on to the ATP and WTA Tours – with five notable examples highlighted in the ITF’s Class of 2025, which was announced last week.

The ITF’s ‘Class of…’ series recognises and celebrates players who have had a successful year on the ITF World Tennis Tour, identifying the year’s most promising and breakthrough talents, and those predicted to go on to bigger and better things next year. Players to have previously been recognised in the ‘Class of…’ series include Jakub Mensik (2022) and Mirra Andreeva (2023), both of whom have since established themselves at the top of the game. The five players included in the Class of 2025 were selected by an expert panel from a longlist of 19 players.
The members of the Class of 2025 are aged between 17 and 23 years old, and all have won titles at ITF World Tennis Tour men’s and women’s events this season. As well as Janice Tjen, women's members included Canadian Victoria Mboko. The 19-year-old Canadian began her year with a 29-1 win-loss record and collected five ITF singles crowns in her first six events. By the end of the year, she'd won two WTA titles in Montreal (where she, remarkably, defeated Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina and Naomi Osaka) and Hong Kong and leapt over 300 places into the world's top 20.
The other three members of the ITF Class of 2024 are: Lilli Tagger, Gilles Arnaud Bailly, Luka Mikrut.
