Top 5 WTA ace hitters for 2025 ft. Elena Rybakina, Naomi Osaka

The WTA season for 2025 is officially complete. Hundreds of highly skilled women captivated fans across the globe through their tennis.

The courts across the globe saw thunderous forehands, meticulous backhands, bounce off the racket strings of these talented bunch of power hitters.

The relentless rallies kept the fans on the edge, however, those battling on the court would have preferred to close out matches feeling less tired. One way to avoid the intensive labour was preventing the opponent from touching the ball to begin with—by hitting aces.

Though all women deserve credit for their efforts in the season gone by, let’s list five WTA players who produced most aces on their serves for the time being.

Naomi Osaka takes the fifth place in the list of top WTA ace hitters for 2025 as she hit 307 aces on the tour.

Osaka gained confidence with every match she played in the season, approaching her pre-pregnancy level. On the tour, she couldn’t convert her struggle into a title but improved her ranking from World No 50 to 16. She reached the semifinals of the US Open and finals of the Canadian Open and ASB Classic (retired after winning the first set).

Ekaterina Alexandrova produced 339 aces to come fourth on the list. The Russian triumphed at the Linz Open in February for her solitary title of the season.

Alexandrova reached the fourth round of every Grand Slam except the Australian Open, where she couldn’t win a match. In a big achievement, she finally entered the WTA Top 10 this season after three years operating between ranks 15 and 20.

Clara Tauson hit 358 aces down her opponent’s courts to become the third-best ace hitter for 2025. She overcame Naomi Osaka in the Auckland final to start the year with a trophy.

Tauson began the season as the World No. 41 and inched closer to top 10, ending the year as the World No. 12. At the Majors, she did best in Wimbledon by reaching the last 16. In Melbourne and Paris, she remained afloat till the Round of 32 but didn’t register a win in New York.

Linda Noskova finished the season one spot behind Tauson in the WTA rankings, but she overtook her to rank second in this list, recording 373 aces.

Noskova couldn’t put together a title-winning run this year, exiting the Australian Open and French Open in the first round. She showed promise at SW19 by making it to the fourth round and lost in the third at the US Open.

Elena Rybakina separated herself from the group as she became the only women to hit more than 500 aces this year. She fired 516 aces and tops the list for the top five ace hitters on the WTA tour.

The 6’0” Kazakh captured three trophies, at the WTA Finals, Ningbo Open and Internationaux de Strasbourg. At the Grand Slams, Rybakina reached the fourth round at Melbourne Park, Roland-Garros and Flushing Meadows. At Wimbledon, she lost in the third round.
