Czech star Katerina Siniakova has cemented her place in tennis history by clinching a record sixth year-end World No. 1 doubles ranking - more than any other player the WTA Tour has ever seen.
The achievement was formally recognised at the 2026 FAGE WTA Finals in Indian Wells, California, where Siniakova was presented with her trophy.
Siniakova's 2026 campaign has been nothing short of extraordinary. She led the Tour with seven doubles titles - five alongside Taylor Townsend and two partnering Zhang Shuai. Across 15 tournaments, she reached nine finals and compiled a remarkable 54-8 win-loss record.
Those numbers speak for themselves. Few players in any era have sustained that level of excellence over a full season.
By 16 November 2026, Siniakova will have spent 209 weeks at the summit of the doubles rankings - the second-highest total in WTA history. At 30, she shows no sign of relinquishing her grip on the top spot.
Whether she eventually claims the outright record for weeks at No. 1 remains to be seen, but her sixth year-end finish already places her in a category entirely of her own.
