I don't understand why people are so het up about a set of relatively meaningless awards. We need some real tennis STAT so all this emoting about nothing can end.

Because Aga takes it very seriously. Don't you remember how happy she was in IW when people asked top 8 about this ? Half of the girls were choked by this result anyway

Stosur's reaction to hearing she was fan favorite

[Doully]

I can't decide if this train wreck is worse than the hot mess that was the Robson award thread...

I can't at the sheer magnitude of seething over these WTA awards.

Exactly. And that's all there is to it really. Nothing good will come from wailing and whining about it in here when you don't like the result.

This is just too funny really. I really dont care for these types of awards. But at least its comical.

There was nothing inappropriate or odd in Aga's reaction. Of course she expressed her excitement about it, there is nothing wrong with that, girls like to be popular. And apart from being a superb tennis player she is also a regular girl.

What is twitter doing in sport award?

What next?
Best interview after losses?. Yeah plural; you have to do it consistently in order to get a prize for it.

It's a bit pathetic to have the Fan Favourite awards on the roll of honour page. Especially the Twitter, Facebook and Video awards.

OMG I never realised that before too good.

This explains why having 10 million likes on FB doesn't automatically mean the player is "liked" or that they are POPULAR

I hope this is a big lesson to you folks obsessed with numbers ... "all that glitters is not gold"

Congrats to the all the award winners, my favorite being the doubles pairing of the Williams sisters - they're sooo good that their matches are better than men's singles competition

Or maybe it simply shows that true beauty (or popularity) goes deeper than skin and glamour.....

Why is Aga so popular?

Sure, she seems nice but her fan base isn't particularly big
