Konta nominated for Sport Personality of the Year
The WTA has been represented by the Brit and Garbine Muguruza thr
Every year, the BBC makes a list of athletes to win their Sports Personality of the Year award. A shortlist of 12 was recently announced and the WTA's very own Johanna Konta, the current world No. 9, made the cut.
Tennis players aren't underrepresented in this competition, as Andy Murray has won the award three times (in 2013, 2015 and 2016).
On top of that, the Brit was also nominated for BT Sports Action Woman of the Year.
Konta wasn't the only one to be recognized this week, Garbine Muguruza just won the Vanity Fair Personality of the Year in Spain.
Muguruza finished the year at No. 2 after winning titles in Cincinnati and Wimbledon.
