Nadal and Alcaraz nominated for sportmanship award

| by Evita Mueller

Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal are nominated for the Stefan Edberg sportmanship award along with a long list of names.

Since 1996, when the previous ATP sportsmanship award was renamed in his honour, the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship award has been a component of the ATP awards. Roger Federer has won it 13 times, but many great players have done it throughout the year as well.

Since Federer's last victory in 2017, Nadal has primarily taken over winning the title four times in a row. He is once again nominated this year and has a good chance of making it five straight, which would be two short of Federer's longest string of seven consecutive victories.

For the first time in his career, Carlos Alcaraz has also received a nomination, but he will face tough opposition from Nadal, Cameron Norrie, Casper Ruud, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Frances Tiafoe, Grigor Dimitrov, Hubert Hurkacz, Lorenzo Musetti, Matteo Berrettini, and Hubert Hurkacz.

Novak Djokovic never won the award and is not nominated this year again.
