There are five weeks left until the end of the 2017 tennis season.
During the ATP World Tour Finals, which will be held at The O2 in London from 12-19 November, the ATP will announce the winners of the ATP World Tour Awards.
World No. 1 Rafael Nadal has been nominated for the ‘ATP Fan Favourite Singles’ award!
In the past 13 years, this award was reserved for Roger Federer so Rafa is going to need our help, to stand a chance of winning.
You can vote for Rafa HERE – You need to choose his name under Singles category! Thank you for each vote! Don’t forget to invite your friends to vote for our champ, too.
Voting closes at 11.59pm GMT on Monday, 6 November.
VAMOS RAFA FANS!
I hope he wins it this time- with all of us voting in full force, why not ! Vamps Rafa! 🤞🏻
I meant Vamos Rafa!! 👊🏻
RAFA – YOU HAVE BEEN SO DEDICATED THIS YEAR. YOU DESERVE THIS MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE. WE, RAFA FANS ,ARE SO PROUD OF YOU HERE IN SA. GOOD LUCK AND BE BLESSED.
Good luck Rafa you deserve this
once a nadal fan, Always a nadal fan. even called my litle dog RAFA …
Found this comment on the ATP website – very interesting –
‘This is a Moet sponsored award that is GIVEN to Roger Federer, the player Moet sponsors, EVERY year. It’s a farce.’
Also the Spanish ATP website has no link to vote. The promotional video for the awards is in English only.
‘This is a Moet sponsored award that is GIVEN to Roger Federer, the player Moet sponsors, EVERY year. It’s a farce.’
Hi Tiggy, I looked for the above quote but couldn’t find it. I was on the ATP website to vote and spent some time there reading the lists of past recipients’ after I voted for Rafa. Please be so kind as to supply the link. Or tell me how to find it?
As for the awards in general, I have followed Rafa for the past 10-11 years but never knew about the year-end awards until I joined RNF.
RAFA ROCKS IN 2017
Hi Margo, if you follow the link RNF provided and simply look for the comments below (after you have pressed the vote button). It may sound like sour grapes but tennis is business, big business, it’s actually naïve to think that the voting might not be influenced by sponsors. I hope you find it.
Surely this is a foregone conclusion, even people who are not Rafa fans must see that after what he has achieved this year it couldn’t possibly go to anyone else , if it does it’s a travesty.
Good luck Rafa you deserve it , and good luck to Lopez and Lopez for the double award
Rafael hij is de beste
I really think that this Award is rigged. We never see the breakdown.
Moet (RF’s sponsor) has around 2 million employees all with a vested interest in voting for Roger.
In fact look at the sponsor and we can see where our votes will end up. Anyway, I still voted.
WAMOS RAFA FOR VICTORIES OF TOURNAMENTS
Nadal
Of course I voted for Rafa, although I believe Federer, ad nauseum, will receive this award.
Rafa I believe strongly that you deserve to get this award.
All the best Rafa for your constant sportsmanship,professionalism and humility.
love and prayers,

I’ve just voted for Rafa who thoroughly deserves this award, but it’s likely that Roger will have his name on the trophy yet again!
