Just 3 of the 17 are women, it was skewed the other way in June and skewed towards the men in May. Strange how the months ebb and flow.
I think weve Aidan and Heather (doubles final) to come today. Julian lost his doubles in Atlanta overnight.
Looking back last year or two , I kept it as one single group a few times with even 20 nominations but used groups when we had just 15 one month. So Ive been inconsistent !
Ill take a call if this is two rounds of votes or just one later - if we stay at 17 nominations, Ill keep it as one.
Nominations will close tomorrow, timing depends on heathers doubles final and whether Aidan reaches the final in the us. To be safe, it will be the early evening when nominations close and I will post the poll mid evening tomorrow.
Going to close nominations at 6pm this evening please. Thank you.
