No surprises or doubts. Among other things because winning Paris-Bercy beating Novak Djokovic and settling at the bottom of the Top 10 under completely normal conditions would have been enough to enter the main category. The “star player” of the season.

Seven of the winners of this award became world number 1, while four players won at least one Slam title in the season following the award. As if that were not enough, it is enough to take a look at the previous ten years to realize the situation.

Tsitsipas praises Djokovic
“Novak Djokovic is the most resilient and the most consistent. A perfectionist who took tennis to another level. His diet, his physical work, his elasticity and his professionalism in each of the areas.
