38, the new great?

38-year-old Novak Djokovic became the oldest player to reach all four Grand Slams in a single season this year. He also became the third player in ATP history to reach 100 career titles when he won Geneva in May. By winning that title, Djokovic became the first ATP player to claim a title in 20 successive seasons (2006-2025).

Consistently Amazing Award: Jannik Sinner

At 24, the Italian became the youngest player ever to reach the final of all four Grand Slams and the ATP Finals in the same season. Sinner is the third player overall to achieve the feat after Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who both did it twice, Federer in 2006 and 2007 (at age 25 and 26) and Djokovic in 2015 and 2023 (at age 28 and 36).
