Hey TA - ITF suggests she won a W25 event earlier this year but doesn't have a W60 to her name previously...I have amended it to reflect that but let me know if you think I have got that incorrect (or the ITF dont have it correct, haha)

No, she won Chiasso W60 in April this year as well as Nottingham W25 also in April. So it is her second W60 title and 15th overall (according to the ITF biggrin )

You might have been looking at the singles, which was W25 Loughborough last year.

Ah, sorry, I thought Chiasso was this event. I will reedit it.

Yes, she also has won five matches here so far, that's pretty impressive.

In fact, of the list as it stands, Ellie would be one of my two top picks - I like the 'they also serve' category. And she is seriously out-performing her profile here, which is what it's all about really

And I'm going to give one to Emily W-S - she's been plugging away this year with no real success - it's lovely that she's made the final (and counting....)

Yes, I was waiting on the resuts of the semis to see if Em, Beth and Eden were going to contest the final.

A number of players on the list may need an updated narrative before vote goes live , so just to keep an eye out.

Sorry, TA, didn't mean to steal your thunder

But, just to me, Em WS gets one anyway - whereas Eden definitely needs to win and Beth probably too

And Jon has been getting his knickers in a twist () about no female nominations so I thought I'd give his Saturday a kick-start after Strongbow did for Ellie B
