So, following on from last year, the game is to predict which British players will win the most grass court matches, in singles main draw and also qualifying events. Matches moved to hard or indoor from grass will count to the tally.
POLL WILL CLOSE Sunday June 4th morning
Last season the final table was: 224 wins in total with a top 3 of:
16 Dan Cox
10 Andy Murray
10 Stuart Parker
In terms of predicting the player with the most wins, just one person got it right, Jaggy, who was very wise and selected Dan Cox to come out on top, and boy did he!!
I have listed below the events and the top 19 British players as of todays rankings plus one AN Other in case you want to predict outside the top 19 players!. The poll will close in 2 weeks time today (Monday 5th June) - so vote for the player you think will get most qualies and main draw wins and let us know who you vote for!

I am sort of following Jaggy's strategy and gone for an ITF level player to take the day this year; Jack Draper was on my radar but with the extra opportunities to win, I have actually voted for Arthur Fery
if or when you vote, please say who you vote for. This is a dual competition - to find our British player with the most wins on grass this summer AND to also crown the person who predicts the correct player!
