You're telling me someone is more deserving than Jason Kubler." John Millman was happy to be nominated for this award for the second time but feels that Jason Kubler is the most deserving player for the award as he said for the fellow compatriot, "consecutive surgeries, never been inside 100 before, told he couldn't play on hardcourt anymore, started with no ranking, no money in the bank when making that comeback, literally starting from scratch. He was unsure if he would continue to play tennis or not but is now enjoying a career-high ranking of world number 91. The Australian had gone through several surgeries in his career. Kubler, on the other hand, was ranked 945 in the world 14 months ago. He also returned to the world number 2 in ATP world rankings. Djokovic was also out of the top 10 when he started this season but he made a statement after winning 2 back to back Grand Slams the Wimbledon and the US Open. Djokovic has a slight edge on Jason Kubler as he had been out of the season for almost a year. It will be a tough fight between Jason Kubler and Novak Djokovic to win the Comeback Player of the Year award. The nominees of 2018 comeback player of the year are - Novak Djokovic, Jason Kubler, John Millman, Kei Nishikori. The Comeback Player of the Year is accorded to that player who has overcome a critical injury in restoring his form and came back as one of the top players in the ATP tour. The Serbian is just 215 points behind the world number 1 Rafael Nadal in ATP rankings and will be the favorite to win the Nitto ATP Finals. It will be hard-bitten for the Spaniard to come back and win tournaments with only 3 tournaments left for the season, that is the ATP 500 Basel, ATP 1000 Masters Paris, and the Nitto ATP Finals.
Novak Djokovic will be the favorite to conquer this award as he has been in an incredible form lately, whereas Rafael Nadal is struggling to make a comeback after his injury in the US Open. There will be a nail-biting competition between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to win this award. Last year, Rafael Nadal bagged this award as he ended the year as world number 1 in the ATP rankings. This award is awarded to the player who ends the year as world number 1 in the ATP singles rankings.
