wow, thanks Christine! I hadnt even seen Sarah's progress! Well done to her.
6 in 4 days - it is a 27 day period, so are we looking at 40 candidates being nominated (will be looking at rounds of voting this time!!). Unlikely, but it is an impressive start to the month
All of these players may achieve more as the month progresses (or even the week progresses) so if anyone feels an updated bio is needed, please just cut and paste the list into a new post and update the wording as you feel is appropriate, doesnt have to be the original poster, I am happy for anyone to update the narrative if it is valid to do so!

And just to add that Jansen's won two doubles titles in consecutive weeks but they cross over month end so only the November one is here
Worthy of note though, for sure!
Will should end top junior and get into player of the season, a good season end at senior level May well see him pick up some votes in that, even if not enough to be player of season.

Yes, but he didn't win the U18 National Championships this year - which is a big negative in my book

1 week in out of 4, strong start to the month; nominations continue for 3 more weeks and close 27th Nov.

7. Neal Skupski - Winner of the Paris Masters guaranteeing being part of the Nş1 pair for the entire season and reaching the WR1 spot (albeit shared).
So we are sitting at 7 nominations after week 1 of 4. Lots of these could improve their records as the month progresses. But others could join them, if we get 7 more each week, 28 could be this months list - unlikely! But the high teens could be hit. I think we had 18 one previous month but would need to check back.
If we keep to 20 or fewer, there will just be one single vote. If it somehow goes above 20, we will end up with semis and a final.
Nominating Toby Samuel. Hopefully be more to add to his resume before the month is out.
