Cincinnati Open named ATP Masters 1000 tournament of the year
December 12, 2025
Carlos Alcaraz and his team claimed three honors at the 2025 ATP Awards, capping off an outstanding season in which the Spaniard was crowned ATP Year-End No. 1 by the PIF for the second time.
The 22-year-old received the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, while his team of Juan Carlos Ferrero and Samuel Lopez were named Coaches of the Year, leading him to a tour-leading eight titles in 2025, including two Grand Slams.
Jannik Sinner was named the Fan Favorite for the third time and his list of accolades continues to stack up, including Rookie of the Year (2019) and Most Improved Player (2024). In doubles, Simone Borelli and Andrea Vavassori also once again emerged as fan favorites, becoming the first players to win the doubles award in consecutive years since Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan (2005-17).
The ATP Awards also recognized Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool who were awarded the No. 1 ATP Doubles spot by the PIF, a feat they achieved in their first full season as a team.
Valentin Vacherot became the lowest-ranked ATP Masters 1000 champion in history after defeating his cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the final following his historic title win in Shanghai.
Andrey Rublev receives the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award in recognition of his mental health advocacy and ongoing work through the Andrey Rublev Foundation. The foundation was established in 2024 to support children with critical illness.
Event winners include the Cincinnati Open (ATP Masters 1000), Doha Qatar ExxonMobil Open (ATP 500) and Bastad Nordea Open (ATP 250).
Six other tournaments – the Rolex Shanghai Masters (ATP Masters 1000), Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, Banco Sabadell Open in Barcelona (ATP 500), Generali Open Kitzbühel, Almaty Open and BNP Paribas Nordic Open in Stockholm (ATP 250) – were named Standard of Excellence winners for their performance in player surveys.
On the ATP Challenger Tour, honors were won at the BNP Paribas Bordeaux Primrose (ATP Challenger 175), the Bahrain Interior Ministry Tennis Challenger in Manama (ATP Challenger 125), the Cranbrook Tennis Classic in Bloomfield Hills (ATP Challenger 100), the Curitiba International Tennis Cup (ATP Challenger 75) and the Santa Cruz Bolivia Open (ATP Challenger 50).
For the first time, members of the ATP No. 1 Club – current and former world No. 1 players – voted to decide two award categories: the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award and the Breakthrough of the Year Award, a new award introduced this year that recognizes milestone wins, significant jumps in the PIF ATP Rankings and first-ever ATP Tour titles.
