There are currently 21 active Grand Slam champions across men’s and women’s tennis.

Just one new Grand Slam winner was added to the list this year: Madison Keys, who won the Australian Open in January.

She finished the year ranked seventh in the world, her best-ever year-end ranking.

Interestingly, four former champions sit outside the top 100.

For Victoria Azarenka and Venus Williams, that’s somewhat understandable, given that they are approaching the latter stages of their careers, but for Sloane Stephens and Bianca Andreescu, that’s a cause for concern heading into 2026.

But what about the stars of the ATP Tour?

There aren’t nearly as many active Grand Slam winners in men’s tennis.

In fact, there are just six: Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Marin Cilic, and Stan Wawrinka.

Alcaraz and Sinner are, of course, ranked number one and two in the world, while 24-time Slam champion Djokovic slots in at number four.

2021 US Open champion Medvedev finished the year outside the top 10 for the first time since 2018, while Cilic, the 2014 champion, returned to the top 100.

Switzerland’s Wawrinka, one of four multiple major winners on the men’s tour, will begin 2026 as the world number 157.

Only time will tell where all 21 players will be ranked by the end of 2026, or if anyone else will win their first Grand Slam title in the new year.

You certainly won’t want to miss any of the action when the 2026 Grand Slam season begins in Melbourne next month.

The 2026 Australian Open starts on Sunday, January 18.
