Most consecutive tennis Grand Slam men's singles finals contested in a season

Since 1877, no two players had contested three consecutive men’s singles finals until Jannik Sinner (Italy) and Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) clashed in the 2025 championship matches at the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. Alcaraz won a thrilling five-set French Open final (4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6) in Paris on 8 June, Sinner exacted revenge in four sets at Wimbledon (4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4) in London on 13 July, and the pair’s trilogy of major singles finals – all on different surfaces – was completed in New York on 7 September when Alcaraz downed Sinner in four sets (6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4) to win his sixth Grand Slam title and replace his opponent as world No.1.

Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall (1956), Neale Fraser and Rod Laver (1960), Laver and Roy Emerson (1962) and Emerson and Fred Stolle (1964) contested three non-consecutive Grand Slam finals in the same season, while Laver and Emerson (1961-62), Emerson and Stolle (1964-65) and Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal (2011-12) played three, three and four consecutive finals, respectively, across two seasons. Alcaraz and Sinner will be hoping to equal Djokovic and Nadal’s all-time men’s record by contesting their fourth consecutive Grand Slam final at the Australian Open on 1 February 2026. It’s an achievement that was first set by sisters Serena and Venus Williams in four successive finals in 2002-03. Sinner also won the first major final of 2025, defeating Alexander Zverev in straight sets to retain his Australian Open title on 26 January. Sinner (2024-25 Australian Opens, 2024 US Open, 2025 Wimbledon) and Alcaraz (2024-25 French Opens, 2024 Wimbledon, 2025 US Open) won all eight of the men’s Grand Slam singles tournaments played in 2024-25 – the first time since Roger Federer and Nadal in 2006-07 that two players had made a clean sweep of the four majors in consecutive seasons.
