US Open champion, Bianca Andreescu and Wimbledon champion, Simona Halep have both been recognised for their achievements by winning national sports awards as the end of 2019 approaches.
Halep was given the Player of the Year award at the Romanian Tennis Awards; she also received an award as part of the successful Fed Cup team who received a special award for their progress throughout 2019.
Andreescu on the otherhand won the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award in the form of the Canadian Press Female Athlete of the Year; as she took 66/68 of the votes to end what was an exceptional year for the 19-year old.
She will hope though that she can continue this form as the last tennis player to take the honour was Eugenie Bouchard who won it in 2013 and 2014. Since then she has flattered to deceive; with injuries blighting her progress, currently sits 214th in the World rankings.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
