11/22/2025, 2:13:38 AM

Overview of the Nominees

The ATP Tour has unveiled the nominees for the 2025 ATP Awards, set to take place during Awards Week starting December 8. The awards recognize outstanding achievements in men's tennis, with categories including the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, Breakthrough of the Year, and Coach of the Year.

Selection Process

The nominees for the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award and Breakthrough of the Year were determined through a vote by the International Tennis Writers' Association (ITWA). In contrast, the Coach of the Year nominees were selected via first-round voting by ATP coach members. Notably, the winners of the Breakthrough of the Year and Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award will be decided by members of the ATP No. 1 Club, which consists of current and former players who have reached the World No. 1 ranking.

Criticism & Opposition

Jannik Sinner, currently ranked No. 2, was notably absent from the nominations for the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award. His exclusion has drawn attention, particularly given his previous performances and accolades. Sinner's absence may be attributed to a suspension he served earlier this year due to a doping violation, which has affected his standing in the awards.

What's Next

The winners of the 2025 ATP Awards, including the Fans' Favourite award, will be announced during the Awards Week starting December 8. Fans can participate by voting for their favorite singles player and doubles team until November 21.
