Worth noting that January will include the atp events in delray and Antalya, and wta in Abu Dhabi, plus AO qualies. One or two Atp challengers also creep in later in January and itf events. But the atp and wta Melbourne warm up events are firmly in Feb alongside AO itself and wta event in Melbourne in week 2 of AO, plus more challengers. So January relatively slim compared to Feb. Nonetheless, enough to get some decent nominations in to add to Anton above.
Just in case we end up with memories fading as we get into January, other Brits who performed well in late December that could qualify for January PoM include Heather Watson at Battle of Brits, Emma Raducanu at British Tour , Arthur Fery at British Tour and Billy Harris in ITF Turkey.
So, thanks Bob, our first Nomination - expecting more !
January 2021 Player of Month Nominations List:
Anton Matusevich
1 nominated so far.
And a reminder of our nomination to date. Be interesting to see if Billy Harris week before Xmas gets a new perspective as the month progresses.
Worth noting after the current week, there will only be 3 more weeks counting towards the January player of the month. We may have thin pickings but the plan this year is to ensure a vote for each month regardless , hopefully some players will come through as the month progresses.
Looking unlikely we will get anyone nominated this weekend now Billy has lost his singles, I could be wrong. Heather is clearly the main player left, in Abu Dhabi, and then Cam and Cam/Jonny still in action but early in Delray event which finishes middle of next week.
Going to be interesting to see how many other players end up challenging Anton for this months award - suspect we will end up with a single final play off as I find it hard to imagine we will get enough nominees by month end to require more rounds in the poll.
So, thanks Bob, our first Nomination - expecting more !

Been slim pickings this week, Billy Harris in doubles final today, cam in action in singles still in Delray but early days there still, last 16. AO qualies now started of course this week. following this week, it is then largely a few itf events and atp challengers kick in, but not many entries from British players, it seems.
And a title for Billy added to a singles final the other week, which is in this qualifying period. Has he done enough to be nominated? Id argue hes done more than Anton...

Yes. He has. I know there are multiple others on the forum who want to nominate him but are waiting so that I get the privilege. So here goes.

Thanks CD and FW, I was half anticipating this! I am hoping Cam gets another win tonight to make the semis at Delray and possibly put his name in the frame
