Djokovic and Nadal also honored: Federer, once again, the fan favorite – sport

Roger Federer has rented this award for himself: for the eighteenth time in a row, the 39-year-old Basel bidder has been voted the most popular professional on the ATP tour by fans. And this despite the fact that the Swiss only competed in one tournament this year, the Australian Open in January.

In a message on Twitter, the Swiss thanked his fans: “Thank you to all the tennis fans who voted for me and believed in me. And you want to see me on tour again. I train hard for this to happen. I hope I can play in front of all of you very, very soon, ”he says.

Nadal fairer player

Rafael Nadal could also expect a special honor. For the third time in a row, and for the fourth time overall, the world number 2 received the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award from his peers as the fairest player.

Novak Djokovic, who won the Australian Open and 2 ATP 1000 tournaments, is at the top of the ATP rankings at the end of the year and received the award as number one on the men’s circuit.
