International Tennis Hall of Fame launches fan vote for Class of 2023 Nominees

WATCH: Lleyton Hewitt is the most recent player to be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

The International Tennis Hall of Fame officially opened up its Class of 2023 vote to the fans on Thursday, giving the wider tennis world an opportunity to make their voice heard on who will earn induction at next summer’s annual Enshrinement Ceremony.

Fans are allowed a single ballot on which to vote for as many of the eight nominees, allowing them to vote alongside 140 tennis journalists, historians, and already-enshrined Hall of Famers, with the Top 3 earning bonus percentage points in the final tally.

The winner will earn an addition 3%, while second and third place will earn an addition 2% and 1%, respectively.

Cara Black won 2022’s Fan Vote, and though the former WTA doubles No. 1 and 10-time Grand Slam doubles and mixed champion failed to earn induction, Black is back on the ballot along with fellow doubles stars Lisa Raymond and Daniel Nestor.

In fact, no new inductees were awarded from the Class of 2022 ballot, as none of the nominees earned the requisite 75% threshold from the Voting Group—with or without the Fan Vote.

Lleyton Hewitt is the most recent ITHF player inductee, having been formally enshrined in 2022 after being unable to travel the previous year due to COVID-19.

Returning nominees include Black, Raymond, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Ana Ivanovic, Flavia Pennetta, and Carlos Moya.

Ferrero has likely earned a second look from the voting populace after his successful stint coaching Carlos Alcaraz, who won the US Open 19 years after Ferrero’s run to the final in Flushing Meadows.
