Naomi is a particularly good choice, but it really is odd not to wait 4 more days. That being said, this was the year to hand out some Razzies for poor sportsmanship, too. That would have had some stiff competition on the men's side. B-)

They’re handing out awards before the tournament has even ended?

If they can give Heisman award and various other awards before the bowl week, what is wrong with this? At least, this is only sportsmanship awards. Both recipients are fully worth of the awards, IMO.

What if someone does something which clearly exceeds what has already happened? Do you give a pre- and post-tournament award?

The people left are generally contenders for anti-sportsman awards and so nothing will change in couple more games.

But, in general I agree that it is best to wait until everything is over.

One of the best displays of sportswomanship recently was Andreescu in the Rogers Cup final, when she went over to Serena after the retirement, and tried to make her feel better. If such a reward had been given out before the SFs, this would have been missed — and inappropriately so.

I was confining to ATP mostly since it was posted in this thread.
