It feels like it is a bit early for the review of the season as we still have the Paris Masters and ATP Finals to come, but the Sportsmail has decided now is a good time to do it as they sat down with Milos Raonic, Tim Henman and Katie Boulter to review the 2019 tennis campaign.
Their selection for men’s player of the year is unanimous as they go for Rafael Nadal while Bianca Andreescu gets the nod as women’s player of the year.
The Wimbledon final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer gets the vote as match of the year, but head to Sportsmail for the rest of the awards.
Staying with Daily Mail and Katie Boulter, and the 23-year-old has given a positive update about her fitness as she hopes to return in the next fortnight after spending nearly six months on the sidelines due to injury.
Roger Federer will apparently play tennis until the age of 42 after signing a Chinese exhibition deal until 2023, reports Daily Express.
