Fair Play Trophy awarded to two players

For the first time two players have been elected for the traditional Fair Play Trophy, awarded since 1988 on the occasion of the ATP World Team Championship at the Duesseldorf Rochusclub, during the 2011 POWER HORSE WORLD TEAM CUP.  The eight team captains and the international tennis journalists elected Sweden’s Robin Soderling, 26, and Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber, 27,  for their exemplary behaviour on and off the court. Soderling and Kohlschreiber share the 24th award of the valuable Challenge Cup. Australia’s 2002 Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt was the last recipient in 2010.

The Trophy was awarded by Tournament Director Dietloff von Arnim and Thomas Koenigsbauer, CEO of the new title sponsor Power Horse, after the first singles on Center Court I.
