Interesting for me when you look at the list above is how no player has come up in player of month top players twice. It's like players are having breakout weeks and then the doldrums, little consistency. Be interesting to see if any player can push on with a prolonged spell over the next few months before the year end.

Perhaps Joe Salisbury is the closest player to ongoing form over the year to date.

Not sure if its been an issue but I would delibrately not vote for a player if they are already in the end of year final unless they really do something amazing.

Each to their own. I still treat each month as an open competition for that month. Though as Jon indicated, it has generallyl been new players making theur mark each month.

Like Indy, I tend to treat each month separately and I think most folks probably dont look at this thread and use it to form a view on voting! But as Indy says, not a problem and how we all vote is down to personal choice, there is no issue at all in having different thought processes going into it...

of the 37 nominations, 34 of them have a first name beginning with a letter in the first half (A to M) in the alphabet, just 3 of them dont.

That is an amazing skew. Does it reflect a early letters bias in the tennis world or maybe show the middle classes use earlier letters to name their off spring?

You can tell I am bored!

I had noted down Emilie Lindh as our top ITF ranked player and she still is ...but Live Rankings are calling her Emilie Lindh Gallagher. Has that always been the case and I just hadnt spotted it or is it a name change of some sort?

The Optimist · ATP qualifying

She's always appeared in the ITF entries with the double surname
