2021 Tennis ELO Awards - Voting

It's the end of the year again, so it's time for me to award some 4 virtual prizes to players based on how well they have done over the season. 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.
