2010 ATP World Tour Awards
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, who share arguably the greatest rivalry in tennis history, waged a fierce battle in the 2010 ATP World Tour Awards, sharing honours in two awards they hotly contested. The awards were announced today in London, one day ahead of the start of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.
Nadal, who had already locked up the ATP World Tour No. 1 award after an incredible season in which he won three Grand Slam titles, beat out Federer for the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship award, as voted by his fellow players. Federer had won the award the past six years.
"It is a big satisfaction to received the Sportsmanship Award, voted for by my fellow players; it’s very important for me," said Nadal.
It’s an honour for me to receive the year-end No. 1 trophy. It’s been a fantastic season for me, the best of my career. After a tough second half of 2009 I came back this year and it was a very emotional year for me."
