I'm going to be awarding some virtual prizes to 4 players based on my Player of the week and Upset player of the week awards that are handed out every update. Below the jump are the players I've shortlisted for the 4 awards this year.
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.
All votes will be held on Twitter. Follow @tennis_elo to be the 1st to hear of new blog posts and more.
