Over 200 votes cast and the winner of the ATP Player of the Year has been set by the readers of TennisUpToDate.com with our poll to conclude the ATP season.
Like the WTA Player of the Year, it was a conclusive winner and the winner was who was expected at the start of the poll. Aryna Sabalenka won that one with 30% of the votes, Jannik Sinner astonishingly given that he had more competition as such for top prize dwarfed the rest. He had nearly 50% of the vote sitting at 48%.
It was a golden season for Italy's leading light as he won eight titles including two Grand Slams sealing the Australian Open and US Open. As well as the ATP Finals and for his country, another Davis Cup Finals. But in reality it was a surprise given that Carlos Alcaraz finished second but in reality a long way clear on 32%.
A long way clear as he won two Grand Slam titles in 2024 at Wimbledon and Roland Garros. But his consistency perhaps for the rest of the season prevented him. He was poor at the back end of 2024 and struggled to make his mark on other surfaces. While Sinner emerged from the year as a threat on all.
Novak Djokovic surprisingly and somewhat not finished third after a poor year by his high standards. His main victory was the Olympic gold medal. He did still reach Grand Slam finals but the 25th title eluded him. Perhaps the rest weren't a surprise either as Jack Draper finished with 4% of the vote.
The surprise perhaps was Jack Draper finishing ahead of Taylor Fritz.
The Brit has had a career breakout but he finished ahead of the player who went one better than him at the US Open in Taylor Fritz who sits on 2% of the vote. Alexander Zverev as World No.2 also only garnered a minor percentage while no votes were cast for Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud or Stefanos Tsitsipas. Andrey Rublev received 1% of the vote.
While the ATP don't crown a winner so to speak, TennisUpToDate has you covered and congratulations to World No.1, Jannik Sinner.

- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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.

- 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
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.mandoist31-10-2026
- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
