Rafael Nadal and Kim Clijsters have won the International Tennis Writers Association's top awards.

Nadal, who won three Grand Slam titles this year, and Clijsters, who retained her US Open title, were voted the Ambassadors of the Year – an award that recognises a winning combination of on-court deeds, conduct that shows tennis in a good light and co-operation with the media.
