Carlos Alcaraz led the 2025 ATP Awards with a remarkable haul, capping a season that saw him become the ATP Year-End No. 1 for the second time. The 22-year-old Spaniard collected three trophies, including the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, while his coaching duo—Juan Carlos Ferrero and Samuel Lopez—won Coach of the Year after guiding him to eight titles, three of them majors.
Jannik Sinner added another Fans’ Favourite honor to his growing list, having previously won Newcomer of the Year (2019) and Most Improved Player (2024). In doubles, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori repeated as Fans’ Favourite, marking the first back-to-back doubles winners since the Bryan brothers did so from 2005–2017. The awards also recognized Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool as ATP Doubles No. 1 presented by PIF in their first full season as a team.
Valentin Vacherot earned Breakthrough of the Year after an historic title run in Shanghai, where he defeated his cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the final to become the lowest-ranked Masters 1000 champion in history. Andrey Rublev received the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award for his ongoing mental health advocacy and the work of the Andrey Rublev Foundation, which supports children facing critical illnesses.
Tournament-specific honors went to the Cincinnati Open (ATP Masters 1000), the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha (ATP 500), and the Nordea Open in Bastad (ATP 250). In the ATP Challenger scene, the BNP Paribas Primrose Bordeaux earned the Challenger 175, the Bahrain Ministry of Interior Tennis Challenger won the Challenger 125, the Cranbrook Tennis Classic in Bloomfield Hills claimed the Challenger 100, the Copa Internacional de Tenis in Curitiba took the Challenger 75, and the Bolivia Open in Santa Cruz secured the Challenger 50.
New this year, selections were decided by the ATP No. 1 Club—current and former World No. 1 players—for two categories: the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award and Breakthrough of the Year. This marks a fresh approach to recognizing milestone wins, ranking jumps, and first ATP titles.
