The Devil's Show - 2021 TTW Awards Ceremony

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Welcome to the third edition of The Devil's Show everybody! First of all got to praise an excellent turnout this year, and show gratitude that members of our community, to my knowledge at least, haven't been affected by this ongoing global issue to a huge extent.

All votes over the past month have been counted, and now it's time to announce the results. As always, we will start with the players...

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Player of the year - ATP and WTA

Dominance on display from both YE #1 players. Novak Djokovic stays on top having received nearly 30 votes, while Ashleigh Barty was just as convincing on the women's side.

Congrats to Nole and Ash!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Tournament of the year

Inititally a tight race between two Major events but in the end, US Open fell short to your number one choice... Roland Garros!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Moment of the year

The world number 1 dominates the nomination list...

Djokovic winning Roland Garros
Djokovic winning Slam number 20 at Wimbledon
Medvedev winning the US Open
Djokovic finishing a record 7th year as number 1
Djokovic breaking the number 1 weeks record
Zverev winning gold at the Olympics
Raducanu winning the US Open
Osaka defacto quitting the Tour
Djokovic beating Nadal at Roland Garros
Alcaraz beating Tsitsipas at the US Open
Djokovic pursuing the CYGS
Stefan Kozlov winning AO wildcard challenge
Djokovic crying on changeover during the USO final
Djokovic breaking the Masters record
Djokovic giving the racquet to a boy after Roland Garros

























































But Medvedev wins it! The Russian stopping Novak's Calendar Slam attempt and clinching his maiden Slam title was your top pick, a few votes ahead of Djokovic's triumphs at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

Поздравляю, Даниил!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Comment of the year

This time it's Mury goat who stood out with his post-match comment on social media regarding Tsitsipas' actions in between sets after their gruelling five set battle in New York.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1432677183030538248

We're thrilled to still have you around Muzz.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Breakout performance of the year

Multiple picks on both Tours this time but in the end the winner is a Spanish teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz - the youngest US Open quarterfinalist in the Open Era. Keep up the good work, boy.

Honorable mention to a couple of other candidates who also received plenty of votes - Aslan Karatsev and Emma Raducanu.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Biggest upset/shock

There was Djokovic beating Nadal in Paris, Zverev comeback against Djokovic in Tokyo, Federer getting bagelled at Wimbledon among others...

But the biggest one by far was the US Open final where Medvedev denied Djokovic in straight sets.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Match of the year

So many nominations.

Djokovic vs Nadal Roland Garros
Alcaraz vs Tsitsipas US Open
Nadal vs Tsitsipas Barcelona
Karatsev vs Djokovic Belgrade
Djokovic vs Medvedev Paris
Medvedev vs Djokovic US Open
Nadal vs Djokovic Rome
Tsitsipas vs Murray US Open
Djokovic vs Tsitsipas Roland Garros
Davidovich Fokina vs Ruud Roland Garros
Thiem vs Kyrgios Australian Open
Murray vs Otte Wimbledon
Carreno Busta vs Djokovic Tokyo Olympics
Tsitsipas vs Nadal Australian Open
Murray vs Tiafoe Antwerp

But in the end, the title goes to...























































A record 58th match between two legends of the game - Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros! Big thanks to both for still producing amazing battles.

Honorable mention to Alcaraz vs Tsitsipas at US Open match that narrowly finished second.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Best rivalry on Tour

A lot of them got a mention:

Djokovic vs Zverev
Medvedev vs Zverev
Murray vs Hurkacz
Djokovic vs Medvedev
Djokovic vs Nadal
NextGen vs Nobodies
Tsitsipas vs Nadal
Tsitsipas vs everyone
Djokovic vs Berrettini
Murray vs Tsitsipas
Djokovic vs science

And the best one of the lot is...



















































The one between the top 2 - Djokovic vs Medvedev, who contested the hard court Slam finals and a title deciding classic in Bercy.

Give us more of the same going forward guys. Orthodox power!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Biggest False Dawn (biggest disappointment)

It looks like players from all generations left a negative impression to at least a small extent this season:

Shapovalov
Federer
Thiem
NextGen
Kyrgios
Sinner
De Minaur
Tsitsipas
Djokovic (CYGS)
Nadal
Auger-Aliassime

Despite reaching his first Slam semifinal at Wimbledon, Dennis Shapovalov has picked up this unwanted award, narrowly ahead of injury-plagued Thiem.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

All in one place!​

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Time to give posters credit!

Best thread on TTW

After over a year of putting this off, part 2 of the original TTW Dictionary is here. Just like last time, if you have suggestions, please comment and I will try my best to include your suggestions, but please check that your suggestion hasn’t already been covered in this or the old dictionary...

tt.tennis-warehouse.com

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Best gif describing a tennis or TTW moment

Unlike in past years there was a tight contest this time.

Third place goes to Djokovic's roar at Roland Garros and Federer's unforunate slip at Wimbledon.

Narrowly in second is Djokovic again, this time cleaning clay as he proved doubters wrong regarding his chances on the dirt.

And Medvedev's US Open victory earns him another award, this time in focus is his FIFA celebration after converting the championship point.

 

[Kawasaki Kanagawa]

Breakout performance of the year

Multiple picks on both Tours this time but in the end the winner is a Spanish teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz - the youngest US Open quarterfinalist in the Open Era. Keep up the good work, boy.

Honorable mention to a couple of other candidates who also received plenty of votes - Aslan Karatsev and Emma Raducanu.

Come. ON.

 

[MeatTornado]

And the gold goes to two guys as well - @Federer and Del Potro and @zagor

Congratulations to you all!

Embarrassing that we got beaten out by a Berdych fan in this category.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Most creative thread title on TTW

A few nominees: Is Wimbledon a tennis championship or a glorified lawn care contest? by @Novichok , Admit it by @MichaelNadal , I Stand By Roger: Flight of the Golden Eagle of Victory by @JoelDali , Guess: Tsitsipas or Copypasta by @Bender , Andy Roddick the clay court beast by @Third Serve...

But all of them fell short to:

"Kicked my son out at age of 18 - And it was the best thing to ever happen to him" by @TTMR

I don't want to know more about it. Congratulations on the win, moving on...

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Best catchphrase on TTW:

Nominees:

Gold is gold and Nina is hot
Age is just a number unless she tells you that
I truly feel bad for ____ and his fans
On the pipe
Tiger
NGBS
Cena wins
ABZ
2-1 bud
Mury goat
Mug
Greek era

This year's winner is Nadal's well-known bragging right over Djokovic in New York -> 2-1 H2H bud.
