Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Kevin Anderson and David Ferrer have all been nominated for the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award this year.

There is however no mention of Novak Djokovic, who has been excluded from the nominations for the second year in a row! Federer has won this award 10 times in the last 11 years, since 2004. The only exception came in 2010, when Nadal won it. The winner is chosen by votes from fellow ATP players.
