Yikes what a long list to look over. Don't know about others but I always have to look over the list carefully to decide as it's not about who is necessarily the best but who you think is deserving to be PoM for what they have just achieved. It's fabulous to see a long list and how well our players are doing.

 Indeed, Rich, a good list and hopefully more to come - will make the vote interesting this month as there is no, to my mind, favourite at all in this little lot.

Although, at various points this year we have had more than 12 nominated, from memory 16 or 17 one month earlier in the year, which makes it quite interesting (I think I carved one vote into semis and then a final due to that). 

Around the corner is Player of the Season, for which we will have somewhere around 24-28 players nominated if things go to expectations! All coming up in the next 6 to 8 weeks!

 

Im not sure any of these are currently nominated, lets see who does well over the weekend- as per DF in the Friday Feeling thread

Dan in Vienna, Jodie in France, Will in Kuwait, Dan in Estonia, Lauryn in Greece (all into a Qf) and in Loughborough Eliz and

 At the very top level, our ATP players havent done well this week, singles or doubles, if we excuse Dan and , perhaps, Jack D. Looking like this list will be largely full of fantastic freshness from the ITF and Challenger level tours, with juniors thrown in. 

Going to be an interesting vote in 3 days time!
