021 ATP Awards Nominees Revealed

Nominees have been announced in the 2021 ATP Awards for all player-voted categories — Comeback Player of the Year, Most Improved Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award — and for Coach of the Year.

Casper Ruud and his coach, father Christian Ruud, have picked up a total of three nominations following a season in which the Norwegian won five tour-level titles and broke into the Top 10 of the FedEx ATP Rankings. Casper, 22, is up for Most Improved Player of the Year and the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, while Christian is one of five nominees for Coach of the Year.

Carlos Alcaraz, Aslan Karatsev and Cameron Norrie round out the Most Improved Player of the Year candidates, while Felix Auger-Aliassime, Rafael Nadal and Frances Tiafoe have been shortlisted alongside Ruud for Sportsmanship. Nadal has been voted by his peers as winner of the award for three straight years.

ATP Awards winners, including Fans' Favourite, will be revealed later this month. Fans can vote for their favourite singles player and doubles team through Tuesday, 7 December.
