A long list of Newcomer of the Year contenders features Auger-Aliassime, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Miomir Kecmanovic, Corentin Moutet, Alexei Popyrin, Casper Ruud, Jannik Sinner, and Mikael Ymer.
“It’s been a solid year!” Auger-Aliassime said via Instagram. Truly blessed and thankful to be nominated among these other great players of our sport. Much love to all of you fans for supporting me throughout the past 11 months.”
Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Dominic Thiem, and Diego Schwartzman are in the running for the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award.
