Jean Borotra Sportsmanship Award
The Jean Borotra Sportsmanship Award is an International Club award. It was introduced in 1998 to recognise tennis players deemed to have shown outstanding sportsmanship throughout their career.
The selection process involves a panel of international tennis journalists selecting a group of players who meet the IC's core value, namely to "develop, encourage and maintain the highest standards of sportsmanship and understanding among players of all nations and among young players in particular." The shortlist is then endorsed by the 38 International Clubs around the world, from which a winner is picked.
The recipient typically receives their award in a private ceremony in London at the All England Club during the Wimbledon Championships.
The award is named after French player Jean Borotra, one of the "Four Musketeers" and the founder of the International Committee for Fair Play.Below is a full list of previous recipients of the award:-
