So many GB titles this month, both senior and junior, I think fairly unprecedented in total, that I did feel like adding 'Our August title winners' as an acknowledgement of a very good month on that score. Kind of similar to when SPOTY has gone for the GB Olympic team as team of the year.

Decided against it because I think ultimately we should try and go for specific singles or doubles players of the month.

 And it would mess up my player of the season calcs as well! Ha!

We did have the GB under 12 girls team nominated one time and get a few votes !

 I did think of nominating our World Junior Tennis U14 team - we've never done do well - it was a great achievement - with Hannah a year young - AND I would have done so at the drop of a hat, with no care for your player of the season calcs ! 

But I think that QF isn't quite enough - despite how good it was - needed to be at least SF....

To me, runner-up in a 25k is lot better than winning a 15k (and as shown by the WTA points) so I'm nominating Marni for 'doing better than winning a 15k' - it's not her fault that the UK doesn't host any

And Megan too - she deserves a shout out

14. Marni Banks - age 19 - runner-up in Roehampton 25k, beating several top-500 players - after many injury problems - gone from unranked in July to WTA 801 now, before the Roehampton points get added

15. Megan Knight - won the British Nationals U12, despite being a category below (a big deal for that age) - beating the clear favourite, and doing it playing excellent, stand-out tennis

With Jaggy having one of his little periods away, and may not do this himself, I have added Anna Brogan.
