2017 Tennis ELO Awards - Voting

After starting these awards last year, I'm going to be awarding some virtual prizes to 4 players based on my Big Gainer and Upset player awards that are handed out every week. Below the jump are the players I've shortlisted for the 4 awards this year and where you can vote for the winner.

For the "Player of the Year" awards, I've listed why each player has been nominated, which I haven't done for the "Disappointment of the year" awards. How you choose who you vote for is up to you, the winners of the awards will be the player who gets the most votes.

From this year onwards, all votes will be held on Twitter. Follow @tennis_elo to be the 1st to hear of new blog posts and more.

2017 US Open Final Update

It's the final of the US Open, and we're about to crown the winners of the final Grand Slam of the year! But before the matches start, let's take a look at some stats I calculated for the top 150 players after the jump:

2017 US Open Semi Finals Update

The quarter finals of the US Open is over, and as the semi finals are starting later today, let's take a look at how that impacted my rankings of the players still in.

The current leaders in the Big Gainer of the tournament awards are Andrey Rublev (+48) and Coco Vandeweghe (+49). Rublev is out of the tournament, but will win the award if Rafael Nadal wins the title, otherwise it will go to whoever wins the tournament. Vandeweghe will win the award if she wins the tournament, or if she loses to Venus Williams in the final, otherwise it will go to whoever wins the title.
