Jon Wertheim’s 2022 WTA Award Picks

Plus: choices for the unofficial best shot, match and quote of the season.

Hey everyone:

Let’s postpone our weekly Q/A sessions and hand out some awards. We’ll do the WTA this week, and the ATP next week. I have no issue with the media voting for sports honors. But I do have an issue with the media voting for awards behind the cloak of anonymity. So let’s go public with our picks and a few additional categories:

WTA Player of the Year

Caroline Garcia
Coco Gauff
Ons Jabeur
Jessica Pegula
Elena Rybakina
Iga Swiatek
