ATPThursday, 30 November 2023 at 05:30
The nomination for the 2023 ATP Awards has been announced
which features some of the best performers of the year.
The awards will be announced in the second week of December
which will include different categories. Italy’s Jannik Sinner has been
nominated in four different player-related categories after his impressive
performances in the calendar year.
His coaches Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi have also been
nominated for the Coaches of the Year award. Sinner, along with America’s Ben
Shelton are nominated in the Most Improved Player of the Year category.
The Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award category nominations
included the world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, Grigor Dimitrov, Hubert
Hurkacz and Sinner. The current world number four had an amazing end to the
year where he produced some remarkable performances.
He first managed to qualify for the final of the last major
competition in men’s tennis in the calendar year — the ATP Finals — in his
home country but ended up losing to Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak
Djokovic in the final with a score of 6-3, 6-3.
He later played a key
role in helping Italy in winning the Davis Cup title for the first time in 48
years as they defeated Australia with a score of 2-0 in the final.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis. Tiafoe vs. Shelton should be a good one too. Americans might finally get their US Open Champion after 23 years!DaveyWavey09-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
