Female Player of the Year – Sonay Kartal

Sonay Kartal enjoyed a strong and memorable 2025 season, reaching a career-high of No.44 in the world after breaking into the top 50 for the first time.

Her impressive Wimbledon run to the fourth round, which included a win over No.20 seed Jelena Ostapenko, marked a real highlight.

She followed that up with solid performances throughout the year, including a last-16 appearance at Indian Wells and two key singles victories in Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup win over the Netherlands.

Kartal capped off her season with a quarter-final finish at the China Open, earning her biggest career win against world No.5 Mirra Andreeva — a fitting reward for her continued progress on the world stage.

Male Player of the Year – Jack Draper

Jack Draper built on his 2024 momentum with an impressive 2025 season that saw him break new ground on the ATP Tour.

The highlight came in March when he captured his first ATP Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells, defeating top names including Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune to break into the world’s top 10 for the first time.

Draper continued to perform at the top level across all surfaces, reaching the final of the Madrid Open with a superb clay-court run and making the last 16 at Roland Garros.

He also thrilled home fans at The Queen’s Club, advancing to the semi-finals of the HSBC Championships — underlining his growing consistency and stature as one of Britain’s and the world’s leading players.

Doubles Player of the Year – Julian Cash & Lloyd Glasspool

Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool reached new heights last year, achieving several of the biggest milestones in the sport. They opened their first full season together with titles in Brisbane and Doha, followed by deep runs to the finals in Miami and Monte Carlo.

Their form peaked on grass, where they triumphed at the HSBC Championships, Lexus Eastbourne Open, and Wimbledon — becoming the first all-British men’s doubles champions since 1936.

The pair’s incredible consistency was rewarded when they finished the year as the world’s top-ranked team – finishing the year with seven ATP titles.

The duo were also called up to make their Davis Cup debuts against Poland in September.

Wheelchair Player of the Year – Alfie Hewett

Alfie Hewett continued to shine in 2025, adding more titles and successes to his remarkable career.

He began the year in style by winning both the singles and doubles crowns at the Australian Open, defeating world No.1 Tokito Oda in the singles final and lifting the doubles trophy alongside Gordon Reid.

The pair went on to claim a sixth straight French Open doubles title and triumphed again on home soil at the Lexus British Open Roehampton, where Hewett also captured the singles title.

Though he finished runner-up to Oda at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, Hewett ended the season on a high by winning the inaugural Paris Masters wheelchair singles title — rounding off another strong season for the British star..
