Roger Federer, the six-time titlist at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, received two 2012 ATP World Tour Awards presented by Moët & Chandon on Wednesday afternoon at The O2 in London.
ATP Executive Chairman and President Brad Drewett presented the Swiss superstar with the awards for ATPWorldTour.com Fans’ Favourite presented by RICOH for a record 10th straight year and the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award for the eighth time (2004-09, 2011-12) and second year in a row.
The special ceremony took place on Centre Court at The O2, following Novak Djokovic’s victory over Andy Murray.
"Stefan Edberg was my idol growing up. He was a great inspiration for me," said Federer. "I always tried to play according to the rules and be respectful to my fellow competitors. A lot of other players totally deserve this award; it's a great pleasure to win it.
"[That it's voted for by fellow players] makes it extra special. We have great matches all over the world and the recognition is a great feeling. We're trying to inspire the next generation.
