Andy Murray has been named as the winner of the ATP's Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award for his work on behalf of a number of charities.
The 27-year-old Brit helped his great friend Ross Hutchins to organise last summer’s Rally Against Cancer at Queen’s Club.
The event raised money for The Royal Marsden hospital, where Hutchins was successfully treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Murray was also significantly involved in this summer’s fundraising events, which followed the very sad death of former British No 1 Elena Baltacha from liver cancer.
He has also worked with Unicef, United for Wildlife and Malaria No More.
The great Roger Federer has enjoyed another fine season at the age of 33 and he won the Sportsmanship Award, named after his coach Stefan Edberg, for a 10th time.
The Swiss star was also voted the fans’ favourite player for a 12th year in a row.
Croatian youngster Borna Coric, 17, defeated Rafael Nadal in Paris last week and has won the Star of Tomorrow Award as the youngest player in the top 100 of the world rankings.
Roberto Bautista Agut climbed from 73rd in the rankings to 15th over the course of the year and he was named Most Improved Player of the Year.
David Goffin of Belgium won Comeback Player of the Year and American duo Bob and Mike Bryan swept the doubles awards.
The trophies will be presented during the ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 Arena next week.
