I find it very interesting that neither Joe nor Neal, who each won a Masters 1000 tournament, have managed to muster a single vote between them, whereas Alicia and Olivia are attracting huge support for winning a WTA 250 event. It makes me wonder if the forum member have lower expectations of the ladies? Incidentally I voted for Katie as I was so pleased to see her back fit and winning a tournament again.

Hi SuperT- its a fair point. I voted relative to my expectations of them and whether they had shone beyond their previous achievements which Joe and Neal arguably matched but didnt beat. Mind you, I tend to vote for the men, just that Lissey and Liv stood out for me this time.
I guess a lot of folks dont vote in absolute terms ie the best performance as opposed to vote relatively. Ie compared to the players normal level?
