Casper Ruud won the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award for 2022. This award is given to the player who has shown the highest level of professionalism, integrity, and fairness. The nominees for the award are chosen by the ATP and the winner is decided by a vote of the ATP players.

Roger Federer won the award a record 13 times and Rafael Nadal has won the award five times. This is the first time since 2003 when neither Rafael Nadal nor Roger Federer has won the award. Novak Djokovic has never won the award in his career.

Casper Ruud is a very calm player on the court, and he seldom loses his temper. In an era where players are quick to throw a tantrum on the court and argue with umpires, it’s great to see a young player like Ruud set an example to the kids following the sport.

Casper Ruud finished 2022 as the world’s number 2 player. He reached the finals at the French Open and the US Open. He also reached the finals at the year-end ATP Finals where he lost to Novak Djokovic. He is the son of former ATP player Christian Ruud.

Roger Federer received an honorary sports award in Zurich yesterday for his accomplishments. The event also honored the Swiss athletes of the year – Mujinga Kambundji and Marco Odermatt. Federer received a huge standing ovation at the event that was televised on the main Swiss TV channel SRF.

Federer received the award from Viola Amherd, Federal Councilor and Minister of Sport. He retired at the Laver Cup this year after an impressive career in which he won 20 grand slam titles and more than 100 titles overall. Speaking at the event,, Federer said:

I am happy to have managed to move on to my post-career. It was something that I dreaded. But it went better than I thought

Roger Federer thanked everyone for their support over the years. He said he plans to follow other sports more closely in his retirement, something he wasn’t able to do while he was playing tennis.
