The BNP Paribas Open, Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC and Qatar ExxonMobil Open have been named Tournament of the Year in their respective categories in the 2019 ATP Awards. The tournament awards, voted annually by ATP players, recognise the leading standards set across events on the ATP Tour.

The BNP Paribas Open wins in the ATP Masters 1000 category for a record-breaking sixth time. Held amidst the natural beauty and backdrop of the desert landscape, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden offers top-notch player facilities and amenities; plentiful practice courts that allow fans to watch players up close; and unparalleled dining options. The BNP Paribas Open is the only tournament to feature Hawk-Eye on all match courts for both main draw and qualifying matches.

“It is truly an honor to be named Tournament of the Year for the sixth year in a row,” Tournament Director Tommy Haas said. “With so many outstanding events at the Masters 1000 level, we take great pride in this achievement, which is only made possible by the commitment of our entire team here in Indian Wells. We are already hard at work to ensure that the 2020 event is the best yet, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Tennis Paradise this March.”

The Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC has been selected by players as the ATP 500 Tournament of the Year for a third time. It previously won the award in 2007 and 2017. The event, held at the Acapulco Princess Mundo Imperial, switched to blue hard courts in 2014 after 20 years on clay. The Acapulco tournament enjoyed record attendance in 2019, welcoming more than 55k fans.

“On behalf of Mextenis, our sponsors and the Mexican fans, we are incredibly happy and proud of this award,” said Renata Burillo, Tournament Chairman. “To receive the recognition of the ATP Players fills us with energy to continue to work hard to make the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC an even better tournament. We want to thank all the players for the trust and support we have received over the years.Acapulco is, and will always be, your home.”

The Qatar ExxonMobil Open claims the Tournament of the Year award in the 250 category for the third time in five years. Held in the opening week of the ATP Tour season, Doha has set high standards since its inception in 1993 and under the guidance of former player Karim Alami, the tournament continues to build its reputation for its superb facility, world-class hospitality and welcoming fans.

“On behalf of the Qatar Tennis Federation and all the team involved in the organisation of the event, I want to express how delighted we are at being selected once again as the ATP 250 Tournament of the Year,” said Alami. “Our goal has always been to deliver an event that meets the highest organisational standards, while providing players and their support teams, sponsors, officials, guests and spectators with warm conditions and attention to detail that make them ‘feel at home’ during their time in Doha. Winning the ATP 250 tournament award for the third time confirms we have been successful in consistently meeting those standards. It is a great honour that the ATP and ATP players continue to show their recognition and appreciation for the efforts made by everyone involved.

“None of this would be possible without the endless support from our Title Sponsor, ExxonMobil, all our valued sponsors, the support of the Qatar Tennis Federation Board of Directors, the State of Qatar institutions and organisations and the ATP. We promise to continue delivering a very special event and it is our wish that all players come and share a wonderful week with us in Doha year after year.”

Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan rejoined forces in 2019, and are back to being the ATPTour.com Fans’ Favourite doubles team. The 41-year-old American twins won the popular vote from fans in the 2019 ATP Awards to claim this honour together for a 14th time.

Mike and I are humbled and grateful to receive the Fan Favorite Doubles Team for the 14th time. This honor is very special to us and means much more than any trophy. The love and support from the tennis community is something we treasure and we’ll always strive to reciprocate. pic.twitter.com/BWE245Tfdg

— Bob Bryan (@Bryanbros) December 19, 2019

This season, the Bryans captured titles at the Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com and the Miami Open presented by Itau. They announced in November that they would finish their career at the 2020 US Open.

Mike Bryan said: “We are currently extremely motivated and excited going into our last season. We will enjoy and appreciate each moment we have while saying our goodbyes and giving thanks to the fans who have given us so much joy.”

In 2018, Mike had won in this category alongside fellow American Jack Sock, whom he partnered to two Grand Slam trophies and the Nitto ATP Finals title while Bob was sidelined following hip surgery.

Fans have selected Roger Federer as the ATPTour.com Fans’ Favourite in the 2019 ATP Awards, extending the Swiss’ reign in this singles category to a 17th straight year.

The 38-year-old Swiss has been honoured with a record 38 ATP Awards starting with his first Fans’ Favourite Award in 2003. Federer has also been selected by fellow players as the recipient of the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award (2004-09, 2011-17) and Comeback Player of the Year (2017); received the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award (2006, 2013); and is a five-time ATP Tour No. 1 (2004-07, ’09).

In 2019, Federer became just the second man to win 100 tour-level titles with his triumph at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. He added three more titles at the Miami Open presented by Itau, Grass Court Open Halle and Swiss Indoors Basel, and was also a finalist at the BNP Paribas Open and at Wimbledon.

Andy Murray has been named the Comeback Player of the Year in the 2019 ATP Awards. As voted by fellow players, this honour goes to the individual who has overcome injury in re-establishing himself as one of the top players on the ATP Tour.

“Thanks so much to all the players who voted! ??” Murray posted on Instagram. “Was a tricky couple of years and I appreciate all of your support.. See you in the new year ?”

The former World No. 1 had missed the second half of the 2017 season and been limited to six tournaments in 2018 due to chronic hip problems. By the Australian Open, an emotional Murray questioned retirement.

“I’ve been in a lot of pain for probably about 20 months now… I told [my team] I can’t keep doing this. That I needed to have an end point because I was just playing with no idea of when the pain was going to stop,” said Murray. He hoped to make it through to Wimbledon, but said following a memorable fight-back against Roberto Bautista Agut in Melbourne, “If today was my last match, look, it was a brilliant way to finish.”

Two weeks later, Murray underwent hip resurfacing surgery. Five months following the procedure, he was back in tour-level action and teamed up with Feliciano Lopez to clinch the doubles title at the Fever-Tree Championships. He made another step forward in his comeback as he made his singles return in August at the Western & Southern Open (l. to Gasquet), and continued to gain confidence by winning matches at the ATP Challenger Tour event in Mallorca and at each of his three stops during the Asian swing, including a quarter-final run at the China Open (l. to Thiem).

To cap off his 2019 ATP Tour campaign, the 32-year-old Brit triumphed over Stan Wawrinka 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 at the European Open in Antwerp to win his first singles title since 2017 in Dubai. “It means a lot. The past few years have been extremely difficult… I think it was a great match,” Murray said on court after his victory. “I didn’t expect to be in this position at all, so I’m very happy.”

Andrey Rublev, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Wawrinka were the other nominees for Comeback Player of the Year.

Italian Matteo Berrettini has been selected by his peers as the Most Improved Player of the Year in the 2019 ATP Awards. This honour goes to the player who reached a significantly higher ATP Ranking by year’s end and who demonstrated an increasingly improved level of performance through the season.

“So honored to receive the ATP Players Award as Most Improved Player of the Year 2019!” Berrettini shared on Instagram. “? Thank you so much for all your support! #blessed #proud #atpawards
@atptour”

In 2018, Berrettini’s first full year on the ATP Tour, he compiled a 19-19 record, reached a high of No. 52 and won the Gstaad title. In 2019, the 23-year-old finished with 43 match wins, a career-high No. 8 ATP Ranking and two more titles.

Berrettini started making his move in April, when he reached back-to-back clay-court finals at the Hungarian Open (d. Krajinovic) and BMW Open by FWU (l. to Garin). He continued his climb, rising into the Top 20 with a strong grass-court campaign that included the MercedesCup title in Stuttgart, the Grass Court Open Halle semi-finals and Wimbledon Round of 16 (l. to Federer).

A trio of semi-final runs – his first at a Grand Slam (US Open), first at an ATP Masters 1000 (Rolex Shanghai Masters) and at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna – led him into the Top 10. Berrettini clinched the final qualification spot at the Nitto ATP Finals. “Being here wasn’t a goal at the beginning of the year. Also before the US Open, I didn’t expect that. I wasn’t thinking about that,” he said. “I knew that I was playing good in springtime, like [during the] clay season. It’s just crazy that it happened.”

Felix Auger-Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas were also nominated for Most Improved Player of the Year.

Fellow players have chosen World No. 1 Rafael Nadal as the winner of the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award in the 2019 ATP Awards. The Spaniard receives this honour for a second straight year and third time overall (2010) for his fair play, professionalism and integrity on and off the court.

Nadal has won an ATP Award in each of the player-voted categories: Newcomer (2003), Most Improved (2005), Comeback (2013) and Sportsmanship (2010, 2018). He was also named Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year in 2011, and this year was awarded the ATP Tour No. 1 trophy for a fifth time (2008, 2010, 2013, 2017, 2019).

At 33, Nadal is the oldest player to finish as the year-end No. 1 in the history of the ATP Rankings. The Mallorcan captured four trophies this season, including a historic 12th title at Roland Garros and a fourth at the US Open. He won a ninth Internazionali BNL d’Italia crown in Rome and a record-extending 35th ATP Masters 1000 trophy at the Coupe Rogers in Montreal.

Roger Federer, Diego Schwartzman and Dominic Thiem were also nominated for this year’s sportsmanship award.

Jannik Sinner’s peers on the ATP Tour have recognised his breakout season by choosing the #NextGenATP Italian as Newcomer of the Year in the 2019 ATP Awards.

One year after watching the Next Gen ATP Finals as a spectator, the 18-year-old clinched the title in Milan. He climbed from No. 553 at the start of the season to a year-end No. 78, becoming the youngest player to finish in Top 80 since 17-year-old Rafael Nadal (No. 47) in 2003. Sinner made a winning ATP Tour debut at the Hungarian Open in April. The following month, he saved one match point to win on his ATP Masters 1000 debut at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome (d. Johnson).

Thank you so much to my fellow players for picking me ✌️ It’s an honor! @atptour #newcomeroftheyear @PiattiTennis @RPiatti https://t.co/z0wRX2FseW

— Jannik Sinner (@janniksin) December 20, 2019

Sinner became the youngest ATP Tour semi-finalist in five years with his run at the European Open in Antwerp, and afterward broke into the Top 100. He also became the second-youngest player to win three ATP Challenger Tour titles in a season, behind Richard Gasquet in 2003.

Seven other #NextGenATP stars – Felix Auger-Aliassime, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Miomir Kecmanovic, Corentin Moutet, Alexei Popyrin, Casper Ruud and Mikael Ymer – were also candidates for Newcomer of the Year after breaking into the Top 100 for the first time in 2019.

Below is the complete honour roll of the ATP Awards, dating back to the creation of the Association of Tennis Professionals in the early 1970s.

In addition to honouring a cavalcade of singles and doubles World No. 1s, the awards also pay tribute to the qualities of great sportsmanship (Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award), altruism (Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award) and to players who have captured the hearts of fans (ATPTour.com Fans’ Favourite).
