Middle States

2023 League Sportsmanship Awards

Throughout the 2023 USTA Middle States League Section Championship season, Middle States recognized outstanding sportsmanship. This led to more than 150 nominations (some people were even nominated twice!). Our word cloud above represents direct quotes from the opponents of nominated players. The bigger the word, the more frequently it was shared with us. Good sportsmanship is something we're proud of! (And yes, believe it or not, "great line calls" takes first prize!) 

 

Congratulations to all who were nominated (see them listed below).
