Good early start for Joe, leading the way quickly here

Joe's had an excellent run in 2020 and seems a really nice guy. Would be a dream team for me if Joe partnered Jo at the the Olympics / Wimbledon.

Emma and Heather yet to score here, looking like a possible two horse race?

5 of the 8 Pom titles won by players in this group and Fran won 2 of those.

Ill see how I feel but although I voted Joe here, Fran is on my mind for the final.

Emma was nominated 3 times for Pom as well, and a 71 percent win loss record. Arthur of course had a 75% win loss record. Both probably deserve more votes than they have.

Is it not a 77% win record for Emma (17 wins and 5 losses, including the one to Benoit when leading 6-2 2-2), or have one of us missed some matches in our respective calculations?

She's been impressive pretty much whenever she plays, but the only 4 pro tour wins all year made it harder for me to vote for her. If she's reluctant to travel abroad in these times then that's unfortunate (and understandable), but there's been ample opportunities for her since winning the UK Pro Series - e.g. a fairly similar ranked Jodie has played 7 ITF/WTA events since their Pro Series final (as has PotY contender Fran), and Emma must be one of very few GB top 350 players, off the top of my head, not to have played at all since the tours resumed in August/September.

Wins over Jodie and Harriet en route to that $20k windfall were both noteworthy and financially lucrative, and felt significant to me at the time as I wasn't sure if she'd get many more opportunities to play, but looking back, but I'd have been more impressed if she had beaten the likes of Kostyuk, Zheng, Konjuh etc. in that current Italian indoors W25, or qualified and won a round or two in Dubai W100 last week.

Hopefully she'll have a breakthrough year on the pro tour next season, perhaps on the grass.

 Hi Ace, I get it as 15-5 in fact on this count in singles but the site I use may not be accurate - https://www.scoreboard.com/uk/player/raducanu-emma/YmIZde1B/results/

So I wasnt entirely accurate. It says 1-2 for doubles also so that would be 16-7, again site may not be accurate. Anyway, whichever it is, you correct me! being honest, I suspect i got many of them wrong, I spent one night counting them up and there where 32 of them! It may be that I got a few wrong or my website didnt help me!!

25 votes in and the scores are:

Joe 15
Fran 8
Arthur and Emma 1
Heather 0

Based on voting to date, we have around 27 to 32 per group so maybe 2 to 7 left to vote here, even at 7 votes, hard to see anyone topping Fran so I reckon Joe and Fran, and Dan, can start prepping for a final starting tomorrow

I tend to prefer www.tennisexplorer.com/player/raducanu/ mainly because it usually includes the pre match odds next to the result (something that massively interests me). As far as I can see they are the similar, but Scoreboard has missed off the wins over Nadia and Eliz in that Classic week, which were Emma's first two matches of that week, but still a very good gauge of how she has done.
