Even Petra Kvitova was surprised to win the Karen Krantzcke Sportsmanship Award for the fourth year in a row. It's actually her fifth win in six years.

The WTA award is voted on by the players, and past winners include the likes of Kim Clijsters, Elena Dementieva, Ana Ivanovic, Lindsay Davenport, Chris Evert and Evonne Goolagong-Cawley.

Kvitova still has some years of work to put in to catch up to her ATP counterpart, Roger Federer. The Swiss won the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award for the 12th time in 13 years.
