So, the plan is once this current event of favourite foreign former players is done, to do one final poll of polls to end the polling season - or at least end my involvement in them for now!
Next week, I will do a Favorite of Favouritess event - who is the boards favourite of all.
The list is in the order they qualified :
Monica Seles Serena Williams Chris Evert Martina Navratilova Heather Watson Beth Grey Emily Webley-Smith Amanda Carreras Petra Kvitova Elina Svitolina Ash Barty Katy Dunne Jo Konta Victoria Azarenka Simona Halep Garbine Muguruza Monica Puig Venus Williams Virginia Wade Elena Baltacha Ann Jones Laura Robson
Agniesczka Radwanska
Steffi Graf
24 women
and the men:
Rod Laver Roger Federer Bjorn Borg Pete Sampras Dan Evans Andy Murray Kyle Edmund Joe Salisbury Stefanos Tsitsipas Novak Djokovic Juan Martin Del Potro Nick Kyrgios Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Dominic Thiem Tim Henman Roger Taylor Jonny Marray Marcus Willis Paul Hutchins
John McEnroe
Ken Rosewall
Arthur Ashe
Stefan Edberg
23 men
We have 7 wildcards to be distributed
Current nominations
Happens to be 8 in total right now. Keen to get views on luke Jensen or jensen bros and Bryan's or bryan bros, I'm very unsure having been very sure. Putting them together as pairs seems appealing and gives me 8 wildcards , if telstar agrees we will have the two sets of bros in as pairs.
Lisicki , S Sock, J Bryan Bros. Jensen , L or Jensen Bros? Brown, D Bahrami, M Coetzee, A
Date, K.

...if I dont get enough wild card nominees I'll fall back onto my own list however and nominate myself!
Yes off hand it's certainly hard to know who hasn't been included in any of these polls Jon! And for me WCs might be close misses in some of these previous events...
If you cant remember seeing them, then shout their name and I'll check later.
Despite what I just said, I'll put Lisicki, Kuznetsova, Sock, Bryan B and Bryan M up for starters then. That's 5! My feeling is I'll need 5 or 6 so if we dont add to this list they'll probably make the cut!
I'd like to suggest Luke Jensen for a wild card. I'm pretty sure that Kuznetsova was in one of the early polls.
Telstar, theres a suggestion to make it the Jensens as opposed to just Luke ...I've decided to put the Bryan's in as a pair as opposed to separately. I'm guessing we wouldn't nominate Murphy as a single person , do you wish to stick with Luke alone or make it the pair?
