Shapavalov in group C was the only player with 2 or more votes not to progress to the final.

 Top 3 in final so far all came from Group B in the semis.

This has been a great poll - thanks Indy.

I have an idea for our next one(s) but have no clue about how to set it up.

I was thinking about non-current ranked favourite GB players since the open era began in 1968 - a mens and womens separate vote. Any thoughts whether worth trying to set up. I could come up with the list of players if I could get some help in setting up the voting.

Thanks

 Hi Brittak - setting up the voting is quite easy, the hard work is the list! Lets say you have 100 players, the polls allow for 20 players in a poll. The people taking part ie voters seem to be around 20 per poll, so that would be too many, so around maybe 12 per poll "group" seems around right as Indy did here. 

It is then about allocating players to groups, which can be done in all sorts of ways, in the case of your polls above, maybe random or keeping players apart from similar eras etc. The next question  is the progression ie 100 players might be  8 groups of 12 or 13, maybe a semi round of 3 groups of 12 and a final of 12.

I am sure Indy or I can help you set them up, the main time after the set up is monitoring the finish and organising the next round. 

I am still tight on time the next few weeks, whether indy has time to help, he can advise, but in a couple of weeks I would be happy to support/set up polls.

Thanks Brittak

Thanks for the poll and look forward to the new historic one. Makes me instantly think of some great lesser British players through the eras - Karen Cross, Lucie Ahl, Anne Keothavong, Julie Salmon, and a few I would rather forget - National Front member Buster Mottram would be an obvious example - if he polled any votes, I would be shouting at the computer 'who is the neo-nazi'. Anyway should be another fun poll - hope it is kept into a separate men's and women's section.

 Buster (Christopher) Mottram is someone I saw one year at Wimbledon, he was around the time of John Lloyd and latter part of Mark Cox and Roger Taylor careers and bored the socks off me. I saw him play Tim Mayotte in the last 16 (1982) but Mayotte won and that wasnt something I bemoaned ( I was actually a fan of gentleman Tim at the time so was quite pleaed). I had a work colleague at a previous employer who is his cousin and Buster was seen as a part of the family that they generally tried to disown!

Thanks for the poll, Indy! It was good fun.

 Yes-many thanks Indy. Was the number of voters in the two finals the highest which we have had in this current series of excellent polls?

I was wondering about the two fairly clear-cut outright winners-neither of which I would have been anywhere near predicting a month or so ago. Both certainly present as pleasant personalities but I wonder whether voters also feel a degree of sympathy for them? Both Petra and Juan Martin have suffered from ill-fortune and thus not won as many big events as would have seemed likely a few years ago.
