A Premium Debut for Tennis Collectors
Each Triumphant Tennis hobby box contains five cards total — three autographs and two numbered base or parallels. The 75-card checklist includes an impressive mix of men’s and women’s players from across eras, from legends like Pete Sampras, Steffi Graf, and John McEnroe to modern champions like Novak Djokovic, Iga Świątek, Coco Gauff, and Carlos Alcaraz.
The set also introduces 11 rookies, spotlighting the next generation of tennis talent including Ben Shelton, Linda Nosková, Matteo Arnaldi, and Clervie Ngounoue. It’s a bold start for a brand that clearly wants to be the defining high-end tennis release of the year.
Design and Parallels with Style
As with its baseball and F1 counterparts, Triumphant delivers an artistic, atmospheric design — the kind of clean, minimal aesthetic that feels worthy of a trophy case. Each base card is numbered to 99, and collectors can chase a full rainbow of thematic parallels including:
- Trophy Gold Foil (/50)
- Tennis Ball Yellow Foil (/25)
- Black Net Foil (/10)
- Red Foil (/5)
Each one adds its own pop of color and personality, capturing the energy and movement of the game.
Duals, Triples, and Autographs Worth Chasing
Where Triumphant Tennis truly earns its name is in the autograph lineup. Every player in the base checklist also appears in autograph form, with clean, on-card signatures across the set.
The chases everyone will be talking about are the Dual and Triple Autographs, featuring combinations that feel straight out of tennis history books. Standouts include:
- Pete Sampras & Andre Agassi
- Boris Becker & Steffi Graf
- Aryna Sabalenka & Coco Gauff
- Rafael Nadal & Andy Murray
- Chris Evert & Martina Navratilova

A Truly Global Release
From the court to the collector’s shelf, Triumphant Tennis reflects how international the sport has become. Topps’ 75-card set spans multiple generations and continents, pairing vintage legends with rising rookies in a way that mirrors the sport’s ongoing evolution.
With a box configuration that guarantees three autographs and all cards numbered to 99 or fewer, 2025 Topps Triumphant Tennis delivers an elevated rip for both hardcore collectors and tennis fans alike.
