Associated Press Athlete of the Year


In 1931, the first and most prestigious "Athlete of the Year" award in the United States was initiated by the Associated Press (AP). At a time when women in sports were never given the same recognition as men, the AP offered a male and a female athlete of the year award to either a professional or amateur athlete. The awards are voted on annually by a panel of AP sports editors from across the United States.

Hingis had the kind of year Navratilova had in 1983, when she went 86-1 while winning the Australian, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, and stumbling only in the fourth round at the French Open.
Athletes received five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote.
