Fans' Favourite:

Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award:

Winners in the above categories have been the most difficult to predict, after all!

Haha, don't be cheeky..

The recipient of those will always have the initials RF.

 

[Pirata.]

POTY: Too early to tell after only one major important event, but Novak is the current frontrunner

Newcomer: Too early to tell

Most Improved: Tomic, maybe? Isner?

Comeback: Melzer?

 

[kiriri***]

Hopefully Comeback Player of the Year is PHM

 

[Action Jackson]

Båstad wins best 250 award for another year the streak starts from 2002.

Especially after that Shanghai match with Muzzah

Nadal won this award once..... That should tell you everything you need to know.

 

[GSMnadal]

Should've won it at least 5 times if it wasn't so biased towards Fed.

 

[Moozza]

Slamray should and will win them all.

 

[Litotes]

Slamray should and will win them all.

I get slamray as newcomer, but most improved...? That would be an unusual double.

 

[Tag]

tomic the most improved? lad can't even make it past 1st rnd and complains about scheduling :spit:

anyway, here's my picks:

Player of the Year: Novak Djokovic (the abusive swiss if he retains Year End Championships)

Newcomer of the Year: er, no one really. not like last year when there were tons

Most Improved Player: Kei Nishikori

Comeback Player of the Year: Brian Baker/Tommy Haas

 

[Moozza]

I get slamray as newcomer, but most improved...? That would be an unusual double.

Who else is going to win? Tomic? :lol:

 

[GSMnadal]

Murray went from being a slamless nobody to being Olympic and US Open champion. Most improved seems in place

 

[TigerTim]

why do only federer and co win that sportmanship award, give it to lower ranked plays, no?

Tell that to his colleagues - it's they who vote for the Sportmanship award, not we; they're the ones who interact with him from close quarters year-round - we watch, mostly from a great distance

 

[Looner]

Should've won it at least 5 times if it wasn't so biased towards Fed.

The only award Nadal should be winning is the contest for who can reach into their arse the deepest.

Okay, the year didn't turn out quite like I predicted.

The only pick I got somewhat right is Benoit, although I guess he's been around too much to be considered 'newcomer' in 2012.


If I had to make my picks now:

Player of the Year: Andy Murray

Newcomer of the Year: Jerzy Janowicz

Most Improved Player: Go Soeda

Comeback Player of the Year: Brian Baker
