International Tennis Hall of Fame Announces Voting for Class of 2025

American doubles team Bob and Mike Bryan and five-time major singles champion Maria Sharapova are the newest additions to the International Tennis Hall of Fame ballot for the Class of 2025. The Bryans and Sharapova join returning Canadian Daniel Nestor as nominees in the Player category.

Together, the Bryans are the most accomplished men’s doubles team in history, winning 16 major titles and holding the world number one ranking for 438 weeks. The twins completed the Career Grand Slam in doubles at the 2012 London Olympics. Individually, Mike Bryan holds the most major doubles titles of any man in tennis history (18) as well as four major mixed doubles titles. Bob Bryan is also a seven-time major mixed doubles champion.

Sharapova is one of only 10 women in tennis history to have achieved a Grand Slam in singles. She became the first Russian woman to reach the world number one ranking in 2005. During her nearly 20-year WTA career, she returned to the top of the rankings four times, was ranked in the top five for 408 weeks and won 36 singles titles.

Nestor is the most accomplished Canadian tennis player in history. He has won 12 major titles, including eight in doubles and four in mixed doubles. He has achieved a Grand Slam in doubles and has led the ATP doubles rankings for over 100 weeks. He is the first singles or doubles player on the Tour to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles and the first player to win 1,000 career doubles matches.

Induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame represents the ultimate honor in tennis, with the sum total of the inductee’s accomplishments and impact among the greatest in the history of the sport.
