Here is the final, 9 players lined up, 5 Brits and 4 overseas. Note I am posting it now but due to work commitments will close it later than 24 hours, at around 6.30pm tomorrow.

Players listed based on semifinal votes, rankings etc

11 votes in, early lead for Heather but plenty of time and plenty of votes out there for everyone else.

Mens semis got 21 votes each, I reckon the womens final can beat that.

For some of these players, favourite WTA player is a bit of a stretch as they hardly ever now, or ever, play on that tour, They are ITF players.

It'd be like voting today for Wayne Rooney as favourite Premier League Player, because two phases ago in his career he used to be there.
Or, perhaps even more accurately, voting your favourite Premier League player as Blackpool's Gary Madine, because 5 of his 337 career matches were played at Premier League level.

Either way, best of luck to all, and thanks for organising the distractions

 Your comments presumably refer to the Misses Dart, Dunne and Swan. They can be classified as WTA players because they belong to the WTA which thus enables them to play occasional WTA tournaments. They appear in the WTA world rankings. Messrs Rooney and Madine are not able to play any Premiership matches because they do not currently play for a Premiership club.

 It's just a bit of fun, SQ. 

Trying my best.

Around 8 hours or so left, 16 votes in.

Scores stand at:

Watson 7 votes
Kvitova 4
Konta 2
Dunne 2
Swan 1

Heather looking a strong favourite now, I reckon theres a few more votes in this, semis eventually reached 22, so any of the above could do it.

 Yep. Which makes me wonder if we ever get non Brits coming to this forum at all? Would be good to see that they do, but suspect there is no real reason for a non Brit to come here!

Interestingly, in the final tally in the semis, Heather got 6 votes out of 20 cast in her group.

In the final, she has 8 out of 20...presumably either people are swapping or different folks are voting in the final...
