I'm not sure if Pete or Roger ever won SI's Sportsman of the Year.They were both deserving in their time. Regardless, Novak should.

I think he should definitely be in the running. First of all, he's having a phenomenal season. One of the best ever. Second of all, he's doing it at a time when he has to face not just one but two players who have deserved consideration for the Greatest Of All Time label and are still at or near their peaks. Three years ago, we seriously considered Federer to be the GOAT; two years ago and into last year, Nadal was being added to that discussion. Now Djokovic comes along and beats them both consistently. It's been pretty amazing.

If he doesn't win Sportsman of the Year, he should at least get a lot of votes.
