I mused on this as I having nominated Jamie and Neal, I wondered what my move should be if Joe joined them in the semis. Joe , of course, got a w/o in one match BUT a semi is still a semi, that wasnt his problem and who is to say that they wouldnt have won that match anyway. So, in fairness, I am also going to nominate Joe - no point in playing games and waiting for someone else, a Masters semi deserves at least a nomination
So the nominations for player of the month will be posted this Sunday evening as normal. Current list as below - 9 nominations so far

Let's make it a round ten: Johanna Konta for reaching her first Masters (or whatever it is the WTA calls it) semi for God alone knows how long after beating Maria Sakkari (13) in straight sets (4 & 3) in Cinci/NYC!

10 means we will certainly be having semis polls, 2 groups of 5 if it stays like this, but there are still chances for Aidan McHugh (if he wins his ITF M15) and perhaps Arthur Fery (if he wins a second British Tour event) or Jonathan Gray (a win after a final last week) to perhaps add to it if anyone feels inclined. Wont know those outcomes til Sunday however.
Just came on here to add Stuart Parker to the nominations.
Now I am used to being beaten by SC by a few seconds/minutes when posting results, but apparently SC has beaten me by 11 DAYS in nominating Stuart. I really must pay more attention. But Stuart is in there so that is what really matters.

With Aidan and Jonny Gray losing today, it feels like Arthur is the only real additional candidate left this weekend, unless someone comes left field in the British Tour mens or womens and nabs a spot for springing a major surprise.
Just a reminder whilst the August events conclude this weekend, the September counting events are just starting.
September will include:
WTA Prague
US Open
ATP Kitzbuhel
WTA Istanbul
WTA Rome
ATP Rome
WTA Strasbourg
ATP Hamburg
ATP Challengers in various locations that we may see players (Jay and Liam most likely)
ITF events across Europe
British Tour Week 7 event - final event next week of the current swing
