Men's tennis is halfway through the teens decade (2010-2019). We are all set to hand out awards for five years that have featured tennis excellence, primarily from its biggest superstars.

In the previous half decade (2005-09), Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were the heavyweights who dominated the sport, taking 17 of 20 majors (Federer 11, Nadal 6, Marat Safin, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin del Potro) and holding all 260 weeks with the No. 1 ranking (Federer 214-Nadal 46).

The theme of dominance has continued for 2010-2014, but it has shifted to Nadal and Djokovic with the supporting cast of Federer and Andy Murray. It's arguably a more competitive period for majors, Masters 1000 titles and the No. 1 ranking.

The awards we give will not include gimmick matches such as John Isner vs. Nicolas Mahut or more irrelevant labels such as biggest temper tantrum or fastest server. These kinds of awards are great for trivial tennis, but we are concerned with big-picture achievements over historical comparisons.

We have settled on 12 awards of recognition, culminating with our most thrilling major final and player of the first half of this decade.
