The British Tennis Player Awards 2008 seeked to recognise the excellence of individuals and teams during the last year.
The Awards were separated into six categories with three or four nominees selected in each group by a committee headed up by LTA Player Director Steven Martens.
“We regard these Awards in high esteem,” said Martens. “This year’s winners will join an illustrious list of names who have been honoured in the past. It has been an incredible year for British Tennis with many fantastic achievements so I’d like to congratulate everyone who has been nominated.”
