- The 2012 WSA World Tour Awards will be announced at the opening
ceremony of the Cleveland Classic, to be held at the Cleveland Racquet
Club, Ohio on the 1st February.
Voted for by an independent panel, the players will be awarded for
their achievements last year, and accolades on offer range from
Comeback Player of the Year, Breakthrough Player of the Year, the
Platinum Service Award, and the Heather McKay Player of the Year.
Among those to be praised, is world No.34 Samantha Cornett, who has
been presented with the Sportsmanship Award 2012 for her positive
attitude and dedication to fair play, both on and off the court.
The 21-year-old from Ottawa, Canada received this year’s award due her
exemplary on-court attitude and strong sense of honest fair play, even
at the highest levels of competition. Her willingness and
generosity off-court are also excellent attributes, and she sets a
fantastic example to all younger players.
This early announcement comes as Cornett was honoured at the Players
Party at last week’s WSA Tour Silver 25 J.P. Morgan Tournament of
Champions event.
Qualifying for the Gold 50 Cleveland Classic starts tomorrow (31st January), with the main draw commencing on the 2nd February.
