Statistical information
[edit]These tables present the number of singles (S), doubles (D), and mixed doubles (X) titles won by each player and each nation during the season, within all the tournament categories of the 2025 WTA Tour: the Grand Slam tournaments, the year-end championships (the WTA Finals), the WTA Premier tournaments (WTA 1000 and WTA 500), and the WTA 250. The players/nations are sorted by:
- total number of titles (a doubles title won by two players representing the same nation counts as only one win for the nation);
- cumulated point value of those titles (one Grand Slam tournament win equaling two WTA 1000 wins, one year-end championships win equaling one-and-a-half WTA 1000 win, one WTA 1000 win equaling two WTA 500 wins, one WTA 500 win equaling two WTA 250 wins);
- a singles > doubles > mixed doubles hierarchy;
- alphabetical order (by family names for players).

Retirements
[edit]The following is a list of notable players (winners of a main tour title, and/or part of the WTA rankings top 100 in singles, or top 100 in doubles, for at least one week) who announced their retirement from professional tennis, became inactive (after not playing for more than 52 weeks), or were permanently banned from playing, during the 2025 season:
Ysaline Bonaventure joined the professional tour in 2011 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 81 in singles in May 2023 and No. 57 in doubles in February 2016. She won two doubles titles. Bonaventure retired from professional tennis in March 2025, after struggling to recover from a knee injury. Her final appearance was at the 2025 Miami Open.[6]
Eugenie Bouchard joined the professional tour in 2009 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 5 in singles in October 2014. She won one career singles title and one career doubles title.

Alizé Cornet joined the professional tour in 2006 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 11 in singles in February 2009 and No. 59 in doubles in March 2011. She has won six singles and three doubles titles. Following a brief comeback, Cornet announced her second retirement from tennis in September 2025, citing other work projects as the reason. Her final appearance was at the 2025 Open Internacional de San Sebastián.[8][9]
Lauren Davis joined the professional tour in 2011 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 26 in singles in May 2017. She won two singles titles. Davis announced her retirement in November 2025.[10]
Andrea Gámiz joined the professional tour in 2006 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 77 in doubles in June 2023. Gámiz announced her retirement in November 2025.[11]
Caroline Garcia joined the professional tour in 2011 and reached career-high rankings of No. 4 in singles in September 2018 and No. 2 in doubles in October 2016. She won eleven singles (including the 2022 WTA Finals) and eight doubles titles, including two major doubles titles at the 2017 and 2022 French Opens. Garcia announced on 23 May 2025 that she will retire at the end of the 2025 season.[12]

Simona Halep announced her retirement from professional tennis on 4 February 2025 following her first-round loss against Lucia Bronzetti at the Transylvania Open. Halep turned professional in 2006 and made her top 100 debut in July 2010. She is a two-time Grand Slam champion, having won at the 2018 French Open and 2019 Wimbledon Championships, in addition to being a three-time Grand Slam finalist. Throughout her career, she won 24 singles titles and one doubles title. In October 2017, at the age of 26, she became the second-oldest woman to make her maiden ascension to world No. 1, a position she held for 64 weeks, and was the first Romanian woman to hold the ranking. Between January 2014 and July 2021, Halep spent 373 consecutive weeks ranked inside the top 10, making her streak the eighth longest in WTA history. In 2022, Halep tested positive for the banned substance roxadustat at the US Open and she was given a four-year ban from the sport in 2023 by the International Tennis Federation. But in February 2024, she filed a successful appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, reducing her suspension to nine months, which she was deemed to have served. Halep made a brief return to tennis, but her comeback was interrupted by numerous injury setbacks, including recurring knee and shoulder pain, all of which preceded her retirement from the sport.[13][14][15]
Michaëlla Krajicek turned professional in 2003, reaching career-high rankings of No. 30 in singles in February 2008 and No. 23 in doubles in March 2015. She won 3 singles and 5 doubles titles. Krajicek finished her career with a ceremony celebrating it in 's-Hertogenbosch.[16]
