Andy Murray and Angelique Kerber, who sealed the year-end No. 1 rankings last year, will receive their awards from the International Tennis Federation at the Pavillon Cambon Capucines in downtown Paris.
Former Spanish players Sergio Casal and Emilio Sanchez will also be honored with the Philippe Chatrier Award "for their services to the game as players and coaches."
They first teamed up in 1984 and won 44 tournaments together, including two Grand Slam titles. They later opened the Sanchez-Casal Academy in Barcelona.
