During the Australian Open, ATPTour.com will give fans an inside look at the leaders in key statistical categories, showing how performances throughout 2025 contribute to a successful season and the promise of more great years in 2026.
Jannik Sinner can do it all in 2025, and the numbers back it up. Whether the points were decided in a split second or through punishing baseline exchanges, the Italian always came out on top, displaying the integrity that defined his season.
Sinner leads the Tour with a 56.9% 0-4 shot win rate, underscoring his ability to strike early and with authority from the first pitch. On the other hand, he’s just as effective when patience is required, topping the Tour with a 58% win rate in races of nine or more strokes.

These numbers illustrate how easily players can earn points on their own terms. Armed with heavy and precise groundstrokes, Sinner held on throughout the long exchanges, absorbing pressure before switching from defense to offense. However, when given the chance to shorten the scoring, he quickly stepped to the line and finished with determination.
That versatility proved vital in a trophy-laden campaign. From hitting the first tennis ball on faster courts to winning in physical encounters, Sinner’s ability to adapt has helped him stand out on the court and cemented his status as one of the tour’s most complete operators.
The PIF ATP No. 2 player won major titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, defended his title at the Nitto ATP Finals, lifted the ATP Masters 1000 trophy in Paris and captured ATP 500 titles in Beijing and Vienna.
