On balance, I like to vote for someone who has done it more than once in the month ie more than one week, and who has won something. So I find myself torn between Alfie and Eva in fact, and am plumping for Alfie
I have several choices on that list. Cam for Queens and RG, Katie S for qualifying, Emma for showing just how good she is, Jack for exceeding expectations ...........

Cam for me for body and quality of work that has seen a pretty good French Open plus top 30 wins on the way to a very competitive Queen's final against Berrettini ( plus a nice wee doubles run ), all helping him to further advance his CH to 34 and have him up to race #12. A great month from him.

I went for JoKo but it was a tough decision! However I think Jo, winning at home in the UK, the first female Brit to do this in quite some time with her problematic knee earned her vote
That was tough, could've been any of 7 but went for Katie, think what it meant to her swung it for me. Honorable mention to JoKo, Cam, Alfie, Anton, Felix and Alistair Gray who was probably the biggest surprise,

Alfie not only won singles and doubles at the French Open, he also repeated the feat at a Super Series straight after. he was seeded third as well- its like Tsitsipas winning singles doubles at French and the Italian Opens. Impressive.
Swan for me. I think most would consider her a better player than her current ranking, but she still needed a QWC to enter quals, came into it with no grass matches (which wouldn't have been taken lightly), was a betting underdog in all 3 matches, a significant underdog in one of them )McNally), and became the first British women to qualify for Wimbledon in my lifetime, and a vote clinching emotional interview at the end.
