ATP Awards
Award
This is a list of all the awards given by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) to players and others of particular distinction during a given season. Rafael Nadal is the only man to win every ATP award in the player category.[1]
The ATP Player and Team of the Year awards are presently given to the player and team who end the year as world No. 1 in the ATP rankings.[2] In earlier years, this was not explicitly the case as in 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1982 and 1989 the Players of the Year named by the ATP (listed below) did not have the No. 1 ranking based on the ATP's point system at the end of that particular year. In those years, the No. 1 ranking was held by Jimmy Connors (1975–78), John McEnroe (1982) and Ivan Lendl (1989). The most successful players in this category are Novak Djokovic in singles, and Bryan brothers in doubles.
