It is nomination by peers. He played half a season and that was enough for them to see where he stands vis a vis the rest of the tour
No it's not the players who nominate the candidates that are put to the vote. It's the International Tennis Writers Association who supposedly nominate the 4 players that are put to the vote and Federer is always one of the nominees every single year.

From the ATP WEBSITE
Federer, Murray, Nadal, Wawrinka nominated for Sportsmanship award

You think they are actually voting? The tell us they put it to the vote but I doubt they even take any notice of the so called vote. See that I put vote in inverted commas, that means I don't believe the vote has anything to do with the result.

So you are saying that all organizations are plotting to organize something that resembles a fair competition just to award Federer some reward screwing in the process their own integrity, the tennis writers and the pros on the ATP?

So, what happens in the Area 51?

:eek:

Yes to the red.

If anyone can recall a year when Federer wasn't nominated for both the sportsmanship and the fan favourite awards I'd be grateful if you could let me know.

Why is Federer nominated every year by the ATP even when he hasn't played a full season?
Sportsmanship Award I don't really know, but to nominate Andy, a guy who swears a lot on court, it's something strange.
About the Fan's Favourite Award, it's for the Top-20 players on the Race to London in a certain point, I guess after the US Open, and Federer was like 12 in the Race at that point, so it's still a Top-20 as far as I know.

-Andy Murray
-Roger Federer
-Rafael Nadal
-Stan Wawrinka
i know those are just stupid 'awards', but still... i had to read the list several times.
apparently, it's not a mistake or a joke: the godfaker (aka the rusty peak injured whining-cheating bull) is on the list for the sportmanship award...... madre mia. :confused:
(a conspiracy to sully edberg's name ? or... any other rational explanation to explain such an aberration ?)

at the beginning i was like...
