June 2023 Player of the Month Vote - Semifinal Group 2


So, here we go - 11 players in this group, top 3 plus ties will get through to the final.

Poll will close in 24 hours after posting, so around 8.40pm Monday evening

I am afraid many people will find this vote hard - sorry!! 

This group has 5 women and 6 men 

2 Harry Wendelken - two stellar matches to come through Surbiton Challenger qualis - the one against PHH was just brilliant - deserves the nomination for that alone

5 Andy Lapthorne - French Open quad wheelchair doubles champion with Donald Ramphadi, unseeded. His 14th career doubles slam. Has come back from severe mental health problems and deserves to get back to the winners circle; followed up by winning the British Grass Court Quad Singles Championships in Eastbourne

6.Kristina Paskauskas - reaching finals of ITF W15 - Monastir, Tunisia, unseeded, beating higher ranking players than herself, only beaten by top seed of much higher ranking

8. Katie Swan - playing superb tennis the whole week at W100 Surbiton, beating the #1 seed (WR67) and reaching the biggest final contested by a British woman for a year or so.

9. Grace Chinwike - only 13 - has just won TWO titles at J30 level, back to back, in Nigeria.

10. George Loffhagen - reached the QF in the Nottingham Challenger, beating Virtanen WR 131 in the process. Then in the Eastbourne ATP 250 event he lost a very tight 3 setter to the former JWR 1 ( 19 yo Van Assche WR 79 ). Into the world top 400 and GB top 10, and awarded a Wimbledon MD WC

13. Jacob Fearnley & Johannus Monday - for winning the doubles title in the Nottingham Challenger 125 - despite being officially unranked (0+510) and both only 21

14. Andy Murray - Andy returns to the top.40 for the first time since 2018 and no doubt the first top 40 singles player with a metal hip, after his Surbiton and Nottingham challenger titles.

16. Jodie Burrage - for being runner up for the first time in a WTA250 at Nottingham as a wild card, which was also the first all British WTA final for 46 years.

18. Sonay Kartal - very impressive on grass during the month, beating 6 top 160 players - WRs 110, 113 (1 & 0), 125, 136, 151, and 157, all in straight sets, with her 4 losses being to WRs 51, 68, 77, and 125 ( Boulter - now top 100 ), 3 of these being in 3 sets. Was awarded a Wimbledon MD WC.

21. Oliver Tarvet - winning the Tunisia M15 title, thus regaining his ranking ( at a CH in the top 1000 to boot ), winning eight matches -  in qualifying (three) and the main draw (five), while dropping just one set all week. It was his first tournament of the year.

A late run to a title this weekend and most surprising it was, but Oli Tarvet takes my vote

I was very close to voting for Andy Lapthorne here and hope someone else does so, with Andy Murray close also

Have gone for Sonay Kartal here for such consistently good wins over the month. Reached the SF in the Ilkley W100 but it is mainly for her whole month.

Oliver Tarvet was my other main consideration after his very unexpected superb title win in the final week of the month.

Im wondering if people are missing that there are two groups this month due to the size of nominations listed

Please do vote here as well.

There will then be a final between the top 3 from each group which will go up tomorrow!

Thanks !

 indeed - this group is certainly jostling for position, with presumably a few more votes due over the course of the afternoon and evening, it is anyone from half a dozen to qualify
