Today the nominees for the two player categories and Coach of the Year at the ATP Awards 2025 were announced.
The past three winners of the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award – Grigor Dimitrov (2024), Carlos Alcaraz (2023) and Casper Ruud (2022) – will once again be up for the honor, with Felix Auger-Aliassime completing the list of nominees. Meanwhile, Jack Draper, Joao Fonseca, Jakub Mensik and Valentin Vacherot compete for the new Breakthrough of the Year award.
In the Coach of the Year category, the nominees are: Benjamin Balleret (Valentin Vacherot), Darren Cahill & Simone Vagnozzi (Jannik Sinner), Juan Carlos Ferrero & Samuel Lopez (Carlos Alcaraz), Frederic Fontang (Felix Auger-Aliassime) and Bryan Shelton (Ben Shelton).
The nominees for Breakthrough of the Year and the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award will be determined by a vote of the International Tennis Writers’ Association (ITWA). The nominees for Coach of the Year are selected through a first-round vote by ATP coaching members.
For the first time, members of the exclusive ATP No. 1 Club – the 29 current and former players who have reached world number 1 – determine the winners of Breakthrough of the Year and the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award. The winner of Coach of the Year is chosen by other ATP coaching members.
The winners of the ATP Awards, including Fans’ Favorite, will be announced during Awards Week, which starts on December 8. Fans can vote for their favorite singles player and doubles team until Friday, November 21.
