Every year we have the WTA Player awards and the nominations for the 2020's ones are in.
The most prestigious of these awards is the WTA Player of the year award where we have six nominated players.
Sofia Kenin is headlining the field after a stellar year which saw her win her first Grand Slam in Australia and reaching another final at the Roland Garros. Joining her in that category are
Aryna Sabalenka, Victoria Azarenka,
Simona Halep, Naomi Osaka and Iga Swiatek.
The nominations for the WTA Doubles Team of the Year were also announced, with Australian and French Open champions Kristina Mladenovic and Timea Babos leading a shortlist that also includes Roland Garros runners-up Alexa Guarachi and Desirae Krawczyk, US Open finalists Nicole Melichar and Xu Yi-Fan, and Australian Open finalists Barbora Strycova and Hsieh Su-Wei.
Five players are up for the WTA Most Improved Player of the Year award, including Swiatek, US Open semifinalist Jennifer Brady, Palermo Open champion Fiona Ferro, Ons Jabeur, and Elena Rybakina. Azarenka leads the nominees for the WTA Comeback Player of the Year, in which US Open quarterfinalist Tsvetana Pironkova, US Open women's doubles champion Laura Siegemund, and Istanbul Cup winner Patricia-Maria Tig are the other challengers.
The results are due next week and once they are out we will have them ready for you.
