In the early morning of December 17, Beijing time, ATP officially announced that the winner of the 2021 Most Popular Player Award for Fans, Swiss king Roger Federer, was once again elected without suspense, which is the 19th consecutive year that he has won this honor and continues to refresh the record he holds.
Due to injuries, Federer did not compete much in 2021. He made a comeback at Doha and has since played in Geneva, french open, Halle and Wimbledon. After Wimbledon's quarter-finals defeat to Hulkach, Federer ended the season early.
Although the number of participants is not large, this does not hinder the support of fans for the Swiss king. Federer won again at this year's ATP Player of the Year Award, which Federer never let go of from 2003 to 2021.
This is the 40th ATP award won by the 40-year-old Federer in his career, and in addition to the 19 most popular awards for fans, Federer has won the Edelberg Sportsmanship Award 13 times, the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award twice, the Best Comeback Award once, and the ATP Year-end First Place five times.
