I couldn’t have asked and be more honoured to win the trophy
The climax to the season
Bringing together the very best
The tennis season culminates with the WTA Finals for the women, and the Nitto ATP Finals and Next Gen ATP Finals for the men.
These competitions are contested by the top eight singles players based on results over the course of the year. At the WTA and ATP Finals, the top eight doubles combinations also compete for a final chance of victory and to finish the year on a high note.
WTA Finals
The cream of the crop
The WTA Finals tournament is the grand finale of the women’s season. This annual competition has been held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, since 2024. It pits the eight best-ranked athletes on the WTA Tour against each other. The season’s top eight doubles pairs also vie for honours at the event.
Coco Gauff (2024), Iga Świątek (2023), Caroline Garcia (2022), Garbiñe Muguruza (2021), Caroline Wozniacki (2017) and Justine Henin (2006, 2007) have all won the WTA Finals, while fellow Rolex Testimonees Angelique Kerber, Sloane Stephens and Li Na have reached the title-deciding match. Another member of the Rolex family, tennis legend Chris Evert, triumphed at the women’s finals four times, in 1972, 1973, 1975 and 1977.

Final challenge at season’s end
At the end of an intense season, the ATP Tour’s top eight men’s singles players and eight best doubles pairs qualify to take on one last challenge: the Nitto ATP Finals. The grand finale takes place each November in Turin.
It was a very high-level tournament from my side. At times, I couldn’t have played better, so I am very happy.
In 2024, Jannik Sinner won the Nitto ATP Finals without losing a single set. Several other Rolex Testimonees have lifted the trophy. Stéfanos Tsitsipás (2019), Roger Federer (2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011), Stefan Edberg (1989) and Björn Borg (1979, 1980) have all won the ATP Finals, previously known as the Grand Prix Masters, the Tennis Masters Cup and the ATP World Tour Finals.
My greatest success has been winning the Next Gen
