Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> and Jannik Sinner<\/a> have been nominated for the 2026 Laureus World Sports Awards in the World Sportsman of the Year category, with #NextGenATP star Joao Fonseca<\/a> shortlisted for World Breakthrough of the Year.<\/p>\n The nominations continue a strong recent run for men\u2019s tennis at the Laureus Awards. The most recent male player to win World Sportsman of the Year was Novak Djokovic<\/a>, who claimed the honour in 2024. Alcaraz and Sinner are both aiming to lift the award for the first time.<\/p>\n Alcaraz is already a Laureus winner, having earned the Breakthrough of the Year Award in 2023 following his maiden major title at the US Open<\/a> and rise to No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings. Since then, the Spaniard has continued to add to his trophy haul at both major and ATP Masters 1000 level. In 2025, the Spaniard won a Tour-leading eight titles, including majors at Roland Garros<\/a> and the US Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sinner, also seeking his first Laureus Award, won the Australian Open<\/a> and Wimbledon<\/a> in 2025 and captured a second consecutive Nitto ATP Finals<\/a> crown on home soil in Turin. The Italian was also the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings from June 2024 through September 2025, before Alcaraz climbed back to top spot after winning the US Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fonseca\u2019s nomination in the Breakthrough category recognises the Brazilian\u2019s rapid rise on Tour. The 19-year-old won two ATP Tour titles in 2025 and climbed to a career-high No. 24. The 2026 Laureus World Sports Awards take place at Cibeles Palace in Madrid on 20 April.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlos Alcaraz Alcaraz, Sinner nominated for 2026 Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Fonseca shortlisted for Breakthrough Award…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":513029,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-513028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\u201cATP\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/atp-no-1-club-banner-article.jpg\")
