LONDON — The ATP announced the 2010 ATP World Tour Tournament Award winners on Tuesday, with the Shanghai Rolex Masters, the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, and the SkiStar Swedish Open all triumphing in their respective tournament categories.
The tournament awards, voted annually by ATP players, recognise leading standards set within the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 (Shanghai), ATP World Tour 500 (Dubai), and ATP World Tour 250 (Bastad) tournament categories last season. Shanghai, Dubai and Bastad continue to lead by example, each having won the awards on previous occasions.
The Shanghai Rolex Masters has captured the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 award in each of its first two years as a Masters 1000 event (2009-10). The tournament, held at the Qi Zhong Tennis Centre, saw Andy Murray defeat Roger Federer in last year’s final to capture his 6th career ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title.
The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, taking place this week, won the ATP World Tour 500 award for an impressive seventh time in eight years (2003-06, 2008-10). Novak Djokovic captured the 2010 title, adding his name to an illustrious list of former champions that includes the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick.
The SkiStar Swedish Open, the popular clay court event in July, continues to excel in the ATP World Tour 250 category, triumphing for a remarkable ninth consecutive year (2002-10). In 2010, Spaniard Nicolas Almagro capped off an impressive week by denying home favourite and defending champion Robin Soderling in the final.
