Although too early in the grass season for a standout single performance, worth noting that Eden, Jodie and Mark Whitehouse are starting to build a body of wins over the month which probably exceeds expectations. Be interesting to see if they can build on that in the 2 1/2 weeks left of the June period and get into the list for this month.
With a lot of players in Nottingham (and Stuttgart) this week (I counted 8 mens singles in total, incl Andy, and 7 womens, plenty of players to consider for this list as the week progresses
Nominations:
1. Anna Brogan - won W25 title in Tbilisi, beating four seeds on the way.
2. Julian Cash and Henry Patten - won ATP 125 Challenger in Surbiton for their first Challenger level title
3. Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid - won the French Open men's wheelchair doubles (their 10th grand slam title in a row!)

I dont want to jinx him by nominating him just yet, but Ryan is clearly someone who should get onto this list based on two weeks of performances. Anyone else can ignore that and nominate away of course, but I just wanted to see how this week panned out first!
I think it is time to get some life into this given the time of the season, and Dan Cox deserves a shout out - more may come through over the next two weeks or so, but for now, Dan has surpassed expectations this week and deserves to get on our list
Nominations:
1. Anna Brogan - won W25 title in Tbilisi, beating four seeds on the way.
2. Julian Cash and Henry Patten - won ATP 125 Challenger in Surbiton for their first Challenger level title
3. Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid - won the French Open men's wheelchair doubles (their 10th grand slam title in a row!)
4. Dan Cox - qualified for and won round in ATP 125 Nottingham Challenger, beating a top 200 player (Gaio) in Rd 1
I will add Ryan Peniston to the list after a string of good results.

5. Ryan Peniston - Consistently beating higher ranked players, consecutive QFs and probably taking out his CH ranking
6. Harriet Dart 1st WTA QF saving 3 MPs on her way to beating the WR 26 woman who happens to be a decent grass court player herself having her best GS results at Wimbledon
