The most memorable tennis siblings in the sport

With Andy and Jamie Murray sitting atop the men’s singles and doubles rankings, look back at some of the most memorable siblings to grace the sport.

1

Andy and Jamie Murray

Coached by mom Judy, Jamie and Andy Murray are the current doubles and singles No. 1s, respectively. Andy is a US Open and two-time Wimbledon winner, with 44 singles titles to his name. Jamie has 16 career titles, including two doubles majors this year, and a 2015 Davis Cup title (shared with Andy). Jamie’s run at the year-end finals with Bruno Soares made the Murrays the first brothers to hold the No. 1 rankings at the same time.

Agnieszka and Urszula Radwanska

The Polish sisters have seen plenty of success on the WTA tour. Aga, has been ranked as high as No. 2, and currently holds the No. 3 spot. She made it to the Wimbledon final in 2012 and, although she fell short, she holds 20 WTA singles titles. Urszula has won four ITF titles and has been ranked as high as No. 29.

Alexander and Mischa Zverev

German brothers Alexander and Mischa Zverev have both enjoyed success in the sport, with the younger sibling enjoying a breakout year in 2016. Alexander won his first title in St. Petersburg, and became the youngest player to enter the Top 20 since Novak Djokovic. Mischa reached his highest career ranking in 2009 (No. 45), but has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence this year. He picked up his first ATP Challenger title in over eight years, as well as reached the Shanghai quarterfinals and Basel semifinals, raising his ranking to No. 51. Sibling rivalry, perhaps?

Venus and Serena Williams

These two former world No. 1s have done it all, including partnering to win 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and three Olympic gold medals. Younger sister Serena has been world No. 1 for a total of 309 weeks. She has powered her way to 71 singles titles, including 22 majors. Venus holds 49 singles titles, including five Wimbledon championships. At 36 years old, she reached the semifinals of Wimbledon this year, while Serena won the title.

John and Patrick McEnroe

John and Patrick McEnroe are some of the most recognizable faces in tennis, with John in particular becoming a bit of a pop culture icon. He picked up 77 singles titles, including seven grand slams while older brother Patrick holds one singles and 16 doubles titles. Both brothers transitioned from successful playing careers to positions as tennis commentators.

Krystina and Karolina Pliskova

The 24-year-old Czech identical twins have both enjoyed milestone 2016 seasons. Karolina won her biggest career title in Cincinnati before reaching her first major final at the US Open. She ended the year inside the Top 10 for the first time at No. 6. Kyrstina also had a memorable season, finishing inside the Top 100 for the first time at No. 60 and winning her first WTA title in Tashkent.

Known for their signature chest bump celebration, the Bryan brothers are the second set of twins on the list. Their doubles dominance is sometimes attributed to twin telepathy. Either way, they’ve figured out a winning formula: The brothers have won 112 titles together (including 16 Grand Slams), one Davis Cup title, four World Tour Finals trophies and gold at the 2012 Olympics.

Marat Safin and Dinara Safina

These feisty Russian siblings are the first—and only, so far—brother and sister to both hold the No. 1 spot. Marat, the hot-headed racquet smasher and elder Safin, reached No. 1 in 2000. He retired in 2009 with two Grand Slams and 15 singles titles. Dinara rose to No. 1 in 2009, the year she reached the Australian and French Open finals. She won 12 WTA singles titles and a silver medal at the Beijing Olympics. She retired in 2014 due to injuries.
