For me, it came down to one of our Wimbledon winners - of the 4 candidates, 2 stood out in terms of the impact of their win and its place in their career, Henry S and Neal S. Any other time, Henry would be my vote, but Neal won Wimbledon mens doubles and that is hard to surpass. Henry's time will come again.

My vote has gone to Neal

One of three for me. Your main two, Jon, plus Liam.

I'll ruminate further and read others' thoughts

I posted late so inevitably a slow start here, hopefully lots of fun tomorrow. For now, good night

I tactically voted for Bains/Lumsden because I couldn't decide between Neal and Henry. But also, ending a drought of 40 years is reason enough in itself.

Thanks Blue Belle - 11 votes in so far - and Im quite surprised by the structure of the vote so far.

5 players have votes and a long way to go it would seem.

Yep. I know what I said when Liam beat Caspar Ruud, but I have gone for Neal Skupski. Winning Wimbledon Men's Doubles (his first slam at this event) and consolidating his position as Nš1 in the world.

Not sure what more Neal can do to get people to vote for him.

Have voted for Neal. Such a significant and timely win for him when some people were starting to question the partnership in terms of performances at majors and titles in 2022.

Agreed! Thanks 9vicman.

Up to 15 votes now - this vote may have a strange pattern as a) I posted it later last night b) it is summer holidays c) July is historically one of the quietest months in terms of voting.

So I am expecting a slow drop of the votes over the next day and a half; hopefully we will get somewhere in the 30's.

At the moment we have 15 votes and it is all quite tight at the top of the table.
