Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

It’s WTA year-end awards time – help inform Open Court’s vote

As with the ATP, the WTA Tour hands out year-end awards in various categories.

In the WTA’s case, though, the procedure is a little different.

For these awards, the media decide; they don’t go to the player group for a final decision.

The WTA has decided who is nominated, there is no option to write in a candidate. And we only vote for one player or team.

(I don’t make the rules, folks).

Here we go:

Coco Gauff
