The International Tennis Hall of Fame announced four nominees for the 2027 Hall of Fame inductions this week. Those listed in this year's nominations include Ash Barty, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Shingo Kunieda, and Juan Martin del Potro.
Ashleigh Barty, Svetlana Kuznetsova, and Juan Martin del Potro have all been nominated for the Tennis Hall of Fame. Wheelchair tennis legend Shingo Kunieda, a 28-time major champion, has also been nominated for the class of 2027.
Svetlana Kuznetsova received an unexpected compliment from her favorite player during this year's US Open, when Ivan Ljubicic told her that Roger Federer had been asking why she was not already in the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Roger Federer, Juan Martin del Porto, and Svetlana Kuznetova have all been cast as nominees for the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2026. The Player Category recognises ATP and WTA players who have achieved a distinguished record of competitive achievement at the highest international level.
