I'm adding Arthur

1. Katie Boulter - Beat last year's RU and WR 7, Karolina Pliskova, in this year's R2 to reach a Slam R3 for the first time.

2. Liam Broady - Wild card wins through to at least the third round at Wimbledon with a win over the WR 15 Diego Schwartzman. And he supports Man City.

3. Heather Watson - for each of the 4th round of Wimbledon and her first grand slam second week.

4. Cam Norrie - reached Wimbledon SF for his first slam semifinal and shattering his seeding expectation

5. Neal Skupski - Wimbledon Mixed Doubles title winner for the 2nd year in a row.

6. Alfie Hewett - Reached Wimbledon Men's Singles Final in the Wheelchair event; his first Wimbledon singles final coming from 5-1 down and a set, in 3 hours 20.

7. Toby Samuel - Aged 19, Won the Roehampton M25 having received a WC for Entry. His first ITF tournament win in singles

8. Lloyd Glasspool - Partnering Harri Heliövaara, he followed up a Wimbledon doubles L16 with a hugely impressive run to his biggest ever title, the ATP Hamburg 500 doubles title, beating seeds 2, 3 & 4 along the way with combined rankings of 11, 26 & 44 respectively.

9. Kyle Edmund - just for being fit enough to compete. So great to see him back on court.

10. Maia Lumsden - for a cracking comeback from long Covid and battling so well against a top 200 player - runner-up in Notts 25k

11. Arthur Féry - for winning the Notts 25k, even though unseeded and at college and still age 20, and playing excellent grass court tennis

Thanks CD and Christine - feels like Cams write up is a bit sparse, anyone feel like helping get a little spruced up?

I see Billy has played and won his doubles final in Winnipeg, so nominations will close Sunday , lets say by noon and I will aim to get the poll up early evening (depends on the rhythm of my day!).

It does truly look to me very open this month.

No slam dunk and quite a few might gather some votes, not that everyone shares my opinion of the for me slam dunks that do exist in some months.
