Most British Grass Court Wins
Permalink  

Advance warning that I plan to post polls to let people select the players they think will win the most grass court matches in the coming season.

I will do it for singles only but will count wins for main draw, qualifying, British and overseas events, ATP/WTA Tour and Challenger and ITF events through the 7 weeks, running to the end of Newport (In case any Brits play Newport).

I will post 19 men and 19 women in separate polls plus an AN Other position in the poll - as I am counting qualifying wins as well as main draw, it could prove interesting and an outsider could come through 

 

I will post the polls this weekend coming and ask folks to place their vote before Surbiton starts. 

I will post the polls and thread in the respective mens and womens discussion section this time to allow for them to get more visibility and to allow them to have relevant discussions taking place as the grass season moves on - although the polls will of course be predictions contests!

There are 3 mens 25K grass events over the 4 weeks after Wimbledon. Are you including those?

 mmm. I had actually forgotten about those...but probably for completeness, if I am doing Newport RI, I should do. Is the first one in that week of Newport and then the following two weeks?

Did you have the LTA Calendar handy as I think I forget about those events and they arent on the ITF website - presumably, from your post, it is just men on grass, are the women scheduled at the same time on hardcourt?

Presumably the womens grass "season" ends with Wimbledon?

I was also planning to include the Qualifying Wild Card Play offs in the calculations as well! But not the British Tour events that are taking place in the likes of Felixstowe etc

Yeah, just men on grass. The women are on hardcourt.

Thanks Lambda

So, I think that the totality of events is as below:

Men -

Surbiton Challenger;
'S-Hertogenbosch, Stuttgart, Nottingham Challenger;
Queen's Club, Halle, Ilkley Challenger; Aorangi WC Play Offs;
Eastbourne, Mallorca, Roehampton Wimbledon Qualies;
Wimbledon;
Newport R.I, ITF M25 Roehampton;
ITF M25 Nottingham G1;
ITF M25 Nottingham G2;

I think that is right for me - all main draws and qualies (I called out WC Play offs and Wimbledon qualies specifically as they sort of feel like separate events to one big "Wimbledon").

Women -

ITF Surbiton;
Nottingham, 'S-Hertogenbosch;
Berlin, Birmingham, Gaiba, ITF Ilkley, Aorangi WC Play Offs;
Eastbourne, Bad Homborg, Roehamption Wimbledon Qualies;
Wimbledon

so 16 mens "events" and 12 womens "events" main draw and qualies

Mens will obviously cover a few weeks more than the womens.

I wondered if anyone could help me. Over the grass season I ran a prediction poll to ask which British player would win the most grass court matches. This is the thread where I raised the plan but I cant find the poll threads with voting and results for 2022. They will have ended in July or august 2022.

I can find the 2021 version but recall 2022 getting a lot of votes.

Ive searched in general and in predictions and used the search bar but no good. Anyone out there able to find the 2022 British grass court wins poll threads, please let me know ! Thanks

Thats right , we got 58 people voting in the womens prediction poll, the most ever for a poll, to this date.

Not going to fix what isnt broke, so will post there again, unless anyone objects! It will be May before I do it though !
