Maria Sharapova and Nikolay Davydenko have been voted Russia's best players for the second year in a row, the country's tennis federation announced at its annual award gala on Sunday.

The Florida-based Sharapova has won five titles this year, including the U.S. Open, to finish number two in the world behind Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne.

With seven Russian women in the world's top 16, the 19-year-old Siberian beat number four and French Open finalist Svetlana Kuznetsova and sixth-ranked Nadia Petrova for the top prize.

Davydenko also had a very productive year, winning five ATP titles and finishing as number three in the world, his highest career ranking.
