The nominations for the Laureus Sports Awards are out and Nadal is among those nominated for the Sportsman of the Year category with several other tennis players.
Nadal had an incredible start to the 2022 year winning the Australian Open and going undefeated until the Indian Wells final. He added Roland Garros later and reached the Wimbledon semi-final as well. All of that contributed to him being nominated for the Laureus Sports Awards where he has a chance to be named the Sportsman of the Year.
Nadal has won the award four times in the past - twice for Sportsman of the Year (2011 and 2021), once for comeback of the year (2014) and once for the breakthrough of the year (2006). Other athletes nominated for the award include Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Stephen Curry, Max Verstappen, and Mondo Duplantis.
Other tennis players nominated include Elena Rybakina and Carlos Alcaraz. Both are nominated in the breakthrough of the year award. Swiatek has been nominated for the Sportswoman of the year award.

- 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".
