The 24-year-old Serb won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open in a stellar year in which he took over as the top-ranked player, finishing with 10 titles and a 70-6 overall record.
Petra Kvitova won the women’s award after winning Wimbledon and leading the Czech Republic to victory in the Fed Cup, ending a breakthrough year as the second-ranked player in the world.
“I will cherish this award, which is the cherry on top of a wonderful year,’’ said the 21-year-old Kvitova, who edged out top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki - last year’s champion - in the voting.
