As far as this space goes, 2025 featured a mix of old (sometimes bad, sometimes good), new, bold and, more often than not, happenings tinged with red-white-and-blue. Backspin's most useful ongoing storylines (aka "Most Valuable Plotlines") of the season...
| 1. | #WTARallyTheWorld crashes and burns | [the latest WTA rebrand/short-lived marketing push included more than just a (devolving) logo change and toxic green slime color scheme, it was a pretentious, predictable rehash of *past* failed branding strategies, too. Backspin has seen this all before] |
| 2. | Riding the Swiatek Rollercoaster | [Iga's season crashed on the clay, stunnningly rose from the ashes on the grass, picked up steam on summer hard courts... and then crashed again at the WTA Finals. And yet she still finished at a solid #2 in the WTA rankings!] |
| 3. | While Diede's Away, Yui Will Play (& win) | [Diede de Groot's absence and comeback from hip surgery opened the door for the Dutch star's longtime "second place" rival to have the best big-title season of her career as Yui Kamiji reclaimed the #1 ranking, won three major singles titles and swept the season Wheelchair Masters s/d crowns] |
| 4. | Simona Forever (and ever), Amen | [after finally making her long-awaited comeback in '24 after an extended battle with the Alphabets after her '22 positive drug test, Simona Halep retires just six singles matches into her return... and Backspin says goodbye] |
| 5. | The Rise of Francaise Forehand | [Lois Boisson, back from a '24 knee injury, crashes the party at her home slam in Paris with a SF run at Roland Garros in her slam MD debut, then later wins her maiden tour title] |
| 6. | Mbokomania! | [Canada's Victoria Mboko opens the season with a dominant ITF circuit run, then parlays that momentum into a remarkable star-making maiden tour title burst in Montreal, then collects a second title during the Asian swing as she climbs into the Top 20] |
| 7. | Bannerettes Here, There and Everywhere | [U.S. women dominate the tour singles stats, including having the most overall (14) and different champions (8), the most overall (27) and different (10) finalists, the most Top 10 players (4), and the most slam finalists (4) and slam champions (2) in '25] |
| 8. | Alex Eala and the Rise of Asian Tennis | [from Alex Eala to Janice Tjen and Wakana Sonobe, a new batch of Asian players became a collective force to be reckoned with this season] |
| 9. | The Other Dane | [while Caroline Wozniacki was off tour becoming a mother once again, Clara Tauson finally began to put things together, as the 22-year old had a breakthrough, yet imperfect, up-and-down season that left much on the table... but it was good enough to see her open 2026 knocking on the door of the Top 10 at #12] |
| 10. | The End of Many Eras | [not only did Halep exit the game, but so did her generational counterparts Petra Kvitova, Genie Bouchard, Caroline Garcia, Alize Cornet and others] |
| HM- | Venus | [you know the story... if not, where have you been for the past three decades?] |
