That would be something - or Cam of course. Or Andy

1. Katy Dunne - was doing so well, a firm favourite for just being fun, and upbeat, and a nice person, and then has been injured for ages, and now has won the 15k title in Sharm. Which she brilliantly followed up by promptly winning another 15k in Sharm, including a win against the top seed, ranked 435

2. Scott Duncan for his continued doubles success, Lost in Sharm El Sheikh 23 F and won Sharm El Sheikh 24 F getting his ranking close to challenger acceptance next season.

3. Ali Habib - for getting his first ever ATP ranking point by beating a seeded opponent in R1 ranked inside the Top 700, in Sharm El Sheikh

4. Jasmine Conway - 18yrs old lost in Sharm El Sheikh 24 W15 semi final and runner up in Sharm El Sheikh 25 W15 final. Now into world top 600.

5. Cameron Norrie - for winning every match in the United Cup, beating Nadal and Fritz who are both ranked higher than him (top 10). Reached final of ATP250 New Zealand Open in Auckland

6. Katie Boulter - for winning the ITF W60 in Canberra.

7. Andy Murray - 5 hour MTB win over 13th seed Matteo Berretini, AO Round One, an epic victory which shows Andy isn't finished yet! And then Andy does it again with brass knobs with the longest match of his career to beat Kokkinakis in round 2 !

So just a week left - will any of our doubles players in Melbourne get a nod or maybe in next weeks ITF or Challenger events? Maybe Charlie or Dan Little today ?

Remember , last week of January PoM nominations - Neal, Jamie , and then Ranah and Ella , and in wheelchairs Alfie, Gordon, Ben, Lucy and Andy, are the AO players still left in. Lots more around the world who might force a place into the list?

Has to be Andy really for me. Monumental effort. Wonderful, at times breathtaking, tennis to watch. And all done on a metal hip. No one can beat that this month.

So closing in on the end of the period - in the AO , we have Alfie Hewett, Alfie and Gordon Reid , and Lucy Shuker (womens Wheelchair doubles) , and Ranah (girls singles) and Ella (girls doubles) left in - lets see if one of those can force a nomination in the next few days.

main action outside that is a few futures events, if you see anyone who catches your eye (maybe someone has had a good week already and this week builds on it) then please nominate before Sunday evening
