Once again, the Credit Suisse Sports Awards gave a moving review of a very special sporting year – with the vote for the Sportspersons of the Year as highlight. The winners were Roger Federer and Wendy Holdener. One of the decisions was full of suspense, while the other was clear-cut.

2017 has proven to be a life-changing year for Credit Suisse's golf partner Sergio Garcia - on and off the course.

At the Credit Suisse Sports Awards, which took place on December 10, 2017, Roger Federer won the vote for Sportsman of the Year. Among the women, Wendy Holdener was crowned Best Sportswoman.
