As the curtain comes down on another season, it's that time again to recognize the best of what tennis and this community offered in 2021 and made it a more enjoyable year for each one of us.

Got to praise a great turnout last year despite a shorter tennis season, hoping we can match or even surpass that this time having got to watch a lot more, as we still fight the virus and slowly try to return to old, normal daily habits.

So let's begin with another annual TTW awards!

Notices:
Take 5-15 minutes of your time and vote what you think is the best, don't just copy the ones who voted before you.

As always, you can make one or multiple nominations in each category, or even leave some of the categories empty. It's up to you.

If you find yourself wanting to change some of your voting decisions, quote your previous post and write what you want to change. Don't edit posts.

Since they already won the TTW Lifetime achievement award during the previous years, vote for someone other than stringertom, AndyM and sureshs this time.

...

Deadline is set for Christmas Eve, and the ceremony will be held at some point during the following weekend, when I will present all the winners, as well as silver and bronze medalists. With nearly four weeks until then, let's hear all of your choices. Vote, TTW fam!
