So much to choose from this month! A toughie and we love to see it.

It is indeed - I was tempted to nominate Gordon Reid for winning two titles in Bolton against the seedings, but looking back in the month, Alfie Hewett outplayed him last week in Rotterdam; and good though they both played I dont think Gordons month quite makes the cut as a whole. But great to see him getting back to the top of the game.

Updated list

1. GB Davis Cup Team - for their victory in a difficult away tie in Colombia to qualify for the group stages of the event.

2. Oliver Bonding (born 2007) - winner of the J300 event (old J1) in Colombia, and the first at this level for a GB boy since Jack PJ won at Roehampton in 2021, and first outside the UK since Jack PJ again in Plovdiv in 2020

3. Liam Broady - winner of the Challenger 100 in Vilnius - his second challenger title with the previous one being in 2021 - and qualified for ATP250 Doha beating Basilashvili in FQR.

4. Jamie Murray - winner of the ATP 250 Dallas doubles title with Michael Venus, 28th title at at least ATP tour level, and now 11 years in a row that he has achieved at least one such title.

5. Freya Christie and Ali Collins for their W60 win at Grenoble, and W60 Final in Germany.

6. Hannah Klugman, who at 13 years of age, made the quarter-finals of a J200 event in Germany, and a week or so later WON the J200 in Lithuania, beating the top seed. (And was runner-up in the doubles). Putting her well inside the top 100 (probably about 70) in the world juniors, despite her young age. A real star in the making!

7. Andy Murray - for doing 'Andy Murray' things. Reaching the final of the ATP 250 Doha, saving match points in two matches on the way.

8. Fran Jones - after a long absence is back in business getting several comfortable wins at 25k and ultimately losing more to the heat than to her opponent

9. Emilie Lindh - winning the W15 doubles title in Sharm w partner Udvardy

10. Cam for winning in Rio, and beating Alcaraz .

10. Cam Norrie - for doing Andy Murray things. In a clay month for him, he won his 2 Davis Cup matches in Colombia, lost the ATP 250 Buenos Aires final to Carlos Alcaraz, but then got revenge in the ATP 500 Rio final after losing the first set and being a break down in both the second and third sets.
