About this episode
The 2025 WTA season is in the books, and it might be the clearest sign yet that women’s tennis has officially entered a new era. Arena Sabalenka finished as the undisputed force at the top, Coco Gauff found another gear, Amanda Anisimova became a two-slam finalist, and a wave of young talent made serious noise.
Alvin and Torrey break down:
• Why Sabalenka’s “Serena 2.0” season was both dominant and revealing
• Whether Coco Gauff actually has another level — and what that could mean for 2026
• The case for Amanda Anisimova as a true long-term contender
• Players poised to break into the Top 8 next year (Mirra Andreeva, Qinwen Zheng, Naomi Osaka…?)
• Who’s rising, who’s falling, and why style matchups matter more than ever
• Stock Up / Stock Down
• Our favorite matches and storylines of the year
