The WTA season is over as players finished it with the 2022 WTA Finals in Fort Worth and now it's time to distribute awards for this very interesting year.
It all started with Ashleigh Barty's triumph at the 2022 Australian Open as it seemed that she will be an undisputed world no. 1 in the WTA Rankings for a very long time. However, the 26-years-old Australian stunned the tennis world after she retired from her professional tennis career and gave opportunity to other players.
Iga Swiatek used her chances perfectly and became new world number 1 as she also managed to lift two Grand Slam titles and therefore there are no doubts why she's one of the nominees for the 2022 WTA Player of the Year.
Elena Rybakina triumphed at this year's Wimbledon and that also sealed her nomination for this award alongside Caroline Garcia, who won the 2022 WTA Finals.
Ons Jabeur played two major finals this year, but never succeeded. Yet, she still finished the year as world no. 2 and there is no doubt that she also deserves her spot among the best.
The last two nominees on the six player list are Americans Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula. They both enjoyed an incredible season and Top 5 breakthrough as they succeeded also in doubles.
The American duo was also nominated for the 2022 WTA Doubles Team of the Year thanks to their enormous success and qualification for the 2022 WTA Finals in both singles and doubles.
