Instead of whining about Federer getting the sportsmanship award, ask yourself why players vote for him.

@TennisAstro IMO Federer’s winning the Sportsmanship award every year, and especially this year, renders the award meaningless.

Federer did not deserve the sportsmanship award this year. Smyczek should have been given the award in January.

#Federer selected by his peers: winner of #ATP Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award (11th time) & by fans as Fans Favourite =13th straight year

After 13 years,there are people still convinced that Federer wins the Fans Favourite award bcz he’s sponsored by Moet&Chandon.

The Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award should be renamed to ‘The Roger Federer Sportsmanship Award’ #11thTime #SupportTheSwiss #CongratsRFðŸ‡¨ðŸ‡

Federer wins his 11th Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award and 13th Fans Favourite Award. The GOAT, in more ways than one.

I am so shocked that Roger Federer won the fans favourite award that I shall not be tweeting again today.
