Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, the world number one has been voted
European sportsman of the year 2021 by European press agencies.
The European sportsman awards are being handed out by European press agencies and this year's edition was organized by the Polish news agency PPA. They organized the 64th European Sportsman of the Year award, letting the leading 26 European news agencies be the jury. Novak Djokovic, 34, scored 172 points, 39 points ahead of last year’s
winner Robert Lewandowski. Dutch Formula One world champion, Max
Verstappen, came in third place.
Winner of five tournaments this year, this is the 4th time the
Serbian tennis star is honored with the award, previously winning it in
2011, 2015, and 2018. Djokovic just narrowly missed out on the Grand Slam in 2021, winning
the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon, and advanced all the way
to the final at the US Open but lost to Russia’s Daniil Medvedev.
The wins saw him become only the second person in tennis history to
achieve the so-called Surface Slam, winning majors on the three
different surfaces of clay, grass and hard court in the same calendar
year.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
