Maybe 1 thing to change s putting the doubles partners in the same group against each other or alternatively put them in as a team so one entry. It's a shame that Neal has gone out but Jamie is still in there when a number of us suspect that it was Jamie that was the weak link in that partnership.

 True I considered it. Id done it for player of month, but Jamie and neal had done a couple of months apart in summer when Jamie focused on battle of brits and neal was one of the top players in world team tennis , so I took call to separate them. 

can consider it for next year. Not sure how many pairs actually go together fully as a two some , though, below jamie and neal? Alfie and gordon maybe but Alfie and Gordon also did a lot in singles and so I felt had separate portfolios of work. 

 

I guess if neal had Jamies draw hed have got through - but there would have been mayhem having a scouser in a group with a Mancunian!

And in fact neal did get most votes of all those knocked out so far, with 7.

I think some of it is name recognition, maybe next year doubles teams get a nom as a pair and seperate nom individually or go up against each other in the same group

So, the players out on day one are:

Naomi Broady
Jack Draper
Sam Murray-Sharan
Will Nolan
Neal Skupski
Stuart Parker
Grace Piper

Of those, Sam Murray-Sharan was a player of the month winner back in March, I think she was the only PoM faller early doors. Albeit Sams title was in a curtailed month at the start of Covid restrictions and possibly the weakest of the months.

Day two "players out" list will be published later

Looking at my diary today, going to close this a bit later, probably around 12.15 instead , so a little longer than broadcast originally. Might fluctuate from that even!
