top 5 tennis yuri moments of 2025

OH MY WHAT AN HONOR 🙏 again so so biased im sorry people 💔

vicky/alex/maya isn’t a moment rly but i needed to say it okay? okay. it’s an honorable mention.

5. priscilla/karo soft (?) launch (?)

i mean we’ve all been seeing it pretty clearly for so long but the little heart instagram story??? historic. karo on vacation with her and her family????? groundbreaking.

4. igarynamanda wimbledon/uso saga

beating ARYNA in the sf? and then being DOUBLE BAGELED BY IGA in the final? and then AVENGING THE LOSS TO IGA? and then LOSING TO ARYNA in that final? oh i love when women…

3. cocoiga united cup

#MyComplicatedYuri !!! that picture of iga staring wistfully at coco out of focus makes me turn into some kind of wild animal it’s a scary sight actually. and like. iga wants a national title SO BAD and for the loss to come against her former pigeon AHHH oh cocoiga you really do just move me like no other

2. jessaryna miami

so actually they move me like one other because wtf was this. like no. like what was this. aryna saying if she could share the trophy she would and she’s sorry and then jess SIPPING ARYNA’S DRINK THAT IS NAMED AFTER HER. i simply think a life changing lesbian experience ensued. personally. it’s even better with the new context of wuhan too…

1. mariaserena hall of fame speech

i mean what can i say that serena didn’t. seriously. if you haven’t read this yet, read it. like jesus christ. this is actual historic tennis yuri. no one will ever be the og. fedal who sincaraz who i only know maria sharapova and serena williams. like wtf. “she asked me if I would introduce her into the Hall of Fame. And before she even finished her question, I said yes—loud, immediately, with my whole chest—because of course, it’s Maria.” LIKE WTF. WTF.

[michelsens]

new tennis fan here! I do in fact care about more than sincaraz but I'm so willing to learn more. so can I ask, some fave ships/ship recs in women's tennis? I find it very easy to hear about a variety of m/m ships but I'd love to know some w/w ships!

HI ANON YAY ITS WORKING

im so happy you’re broadening your horizons. okay so this is in NO way a complete list but here’s a few femslash tennis rpf ships that are spectacular <3 i went with a very important one and also two of my personal favorites.

mariaserena (maria sharapova/serena williams)

this is a bit of an oldie but a goodie. a lopsided (VERY LOPSIDED 20-2 to serena) rivalry. basically maria beat serena in the wimby final and girl said NEVER AGAIN. and then yeah. never again. many many incredibly charged moments. including this one where serena SANG to maria at the espys. like an original song. that’s ridiculous. and who can forget this runner up speech. oh and this insane comment from serena. anyway an absolute classic. i wasn’t really a tennis fan at the absolute height of this one so i can’t give as much personal commentary other than. jesus christ they were not normal about anything.

cocoiga (coco gauff/iga swiatek)

both prodigies, iga being coco’s roadblock for so long, coco overcoming iga for the first time and then winning a 1000 and a slam back to back. and just. THAT HEAD TO HEAD. 11-4 to iga, BUT it was literally iga won 7 in straights, coco got a three setter, iga won four more in straights, and then coco won the last three in straights?? imo the most quintessential moments are the roland garros 2022 final (coco’s first slam final, OF COURSE against her) and ESPECIALLY the post match (look in iga’s eyes. idek what to say…) iga’s too! “you will find it and you will be there” just like. wow. AND OF COURSE the 2024 wta finals match. match of all time.

also gonna just plug my web weave of them here

qinwemma (qinwen zheng/emma navarro)

MESSY WOMEN MESSY WOMEN MESSY WOMEN 🙏🙏 first of all the absolute pioneer of this ship is definitely tumblr user fritzes so she is probably great if you want to get deeper into it. but just omgggg. the jist of it is emma won their first match, the junior french open semifinals in 2019. and she made like a big deal about this she talked about it kind of a lot?? and then she loses her next match to qinwen. and then the olympics happen and it’s just. it’s insane. here’s tennis channel’s summary of the beef. “she’s cut throat” “because she lost the match” umm???? girls being petty. love to see it.

again gonna just plug my little web weave here :3
