Carlos Alcaraz has been named as the winner of the 2025 Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, recognising his behaviour on and off the court.<\/p>\n
The world No.1 beat Felix Auger-Aliassime, Grigor Dimitrov and Casper Ruud to his second award, having previously won in 2023.<\/p>\n
The award, named after the legendary Swedish player, is given to the player who conducted himself at the highest level of professionalism and integrity. It was first awarded in 1977 but 2025 saw a first as it was voted for exclusively by former No.1s.<\/p>\n
An example of Alcaraz\u2019s professionalism that were noted by the International Tennis Writers\u2019 Association include during Roland Garros where he called a foul on himself in his fourth-round clash against Ben Shelton.<\/p>\n
Roger Federer has won the award a record 13 times having been the recipient in every year except 2010 from 2004 to 2017.<\/p>\n
In the one season where he did not get the prize, it was awarded to Rafa Nadal who would go on to win five in his career.<\/p>\n
