It makes it interesting to see new faces mentioned. It doesn't need to be a top player winning each month. Just my opinion.

 Totally agree - and to be fair if you look at the previous winners listed in this thread about third or fourth post from

the bottom, we do have a reasonably eclectic range !

2 weeks of 5 down, our list is still a small but interestingly fresh looking 3:

1. Georgina Hays - aged 16 - for beating WTA 537 Xinxin Yao in ITF France 25k, QR1

2. Annabel Hristova - aged 14 - she won the singles AND the doubles in the J60 in Norway. Her first event at this level. Only her 7th ITF tournament ever.

3. Tamara Kuti - aged 15 - winning the doubles in Senegal J60.


 Just boosting this. At the very top level, Cam plus in doubles Neal, Jamie and Lloyd are still in QF stage of Indian Wells. Emma and Jack are out but after very positive events for both. 

tomorrow is half way in the nominations period which ends april 2.

Decided to go for it - I think some of our IW performances deserve the recognition and I am also conscious some are still in and may also get onto the list

1. Georgina Hays - aged 16 - for beating WTA 537 Xinxin Yao in ITF France 25k, QR1

2. Annabel Hristova - aged 14 - she won the singles AND the doubles in the J60 in Norway. Her first event at this level. Only her 7th ITF tournament ever.

3. Tamara Kuti - aged 15 - winning the doubles in Senegal J60.

4. Jack Draper - returned from injury to reach the last 16 and beat Dan Evans and then Andy Murray in the process, both in straight sets. A new kid on the block?

5. Emma Raducanu - beat Linette and Haddad Maia, two circa top 20 players, in a run to the last 16, winning 3 matches in one event of this level for only the first time since her US Open triumph in 21.

Good stuff.

One thing re Emma though. She did reach the SF of the WTA Seoul 250 in September, winning 3 matches including beating Linette in the QF.

I have decided I reckon a couple need adding that I would be sad not to see at least up for consideration:

1. Georgina Hays - aged 16 - for beating WTA 537 Xinxin Yao in ITF France 25k, QR1

2. Annabel Hristova - aged 14 - she won the singles AND the doubles in the J60 in Norway. Her first event at this level. Only her 7th ITF tournament ever.

3. Tamara Kuti - aged 15 - winning the doubles in Senegal J60.

4. Jack Draper - returned from injury to reach the last 16 and beat Dan Evans and then Andy Murray in the process, both in straight sets. A new kid on the block?

5. Emma Raducanu - beat Linette and Haddad Maia, two circa top 20 players, in a run to the last 16, winning 3 matches in one event of this level for only the first time since her US Open triumph in 21.

6. Oliver Bonding - reached the final of the J300 Indian Wells, seeded 5th, and will enter the JR Top 50 as a 2007 born player

7. Gordon Reid - after a season dogged by injury, Gordon reached the semis of the Super Series Cajun Classic, beating two seeded players in doing so. He re-enters the singles top 10 at WR9; also won the Cajun Classic and Georgia Open doubles in partnership with Alfie Hewett and goes back to WR 2 in doubles after falling to 6

Apologies all as over half the list is now ones I nominated, but I feel they all do stack up well against the field and hope that more come in over the next couple of weeks from others!

For the last year it's felt really easy to nominate someone but the bar went up and now, with players not progressing far in tournaments, it's become really difficult. No one appears to be reaching the heady heights of the period between Emma's US Open triumph and November 22 apart from Jack and a couple of juniors.

Business end of week 4 of 5. 7 nominated so far - as publicised elsewhere, quieter month generally this month but an eclectic and interesting list so far.

Not on the list yet but Billy, Liam and Harry might make it much more interesting if they get on the list
