Ana Ivanovic and Rafael Nadal have been voted Ambassadors of the Year for the 2008 tennis season by the ITWA membership. ITWA is an Association of around 120 tennis journalists from all across the globe, who travel both the WTA and ATP tour all year long.
Both Ana and Nadal will receive solid-silver hallmarked letter openers, engraved with their name and 'ITWA Ambassador 2008.'
ITWA past president Neil Harman said: "We understand that the players can't grant every interview request, but Ana and Rafa have been exemplary in their professional dealings with the media. Rafa is always scrupulously polite, while Ana always seems to have a smile on her face, even when talking to the media after a defeat. They are great role models for their fellow players, and we hope their engraved letter-openers can find a small but proud place in their trophy cabinets."
