It’s awards season, so we have decided to hand out our very own awards for best and worst performances on the tennis tours. We reviewed a #Fedal season on the ATP tour and a more surprising WTA tour, which saw four different winners at the slams and a topsy-turvy race to #1 by at least five ladies (Simona Halep came out on top).
Did any of your favorite moments make the cut?
How about your favorite players?
