September 2023 Player of the Month Vote - FINAL
Permalink  

7 players have made the final 

Vote will close at 9:35am Wednesday morning and the final will be Tuesday through Wednesday.

Please say who you vote for as it makes it more interesting and also encourages others to vote.

1. Mika Stojsavljevic (born 2008) - for qualifying for the US Open Juniors at age 14 and beating the top qualifying seed on the way, and then winning a round in the main draw.

4. Jack Draper - For his US Open breakthrough reaching the last 16 and showing he is ready for the next big step up. Re - entered the top 100 on the back of RU Challenger position in Orleans

5. Hannah Klugman (born 2009) - doubles winner and singles RU at the J300 in Canada. Then at the US Open Juniors she reached the QF of both singles ( beat the JWR 5 in R3 ) and doubles ( with Mimi Xu ) but then had to retire from the singles and withdraw from the doubles due to illness.

8. Joe Salisbury - for winning the US Open with Rajeev Ram for the third consecutive year.

11. Katie Dyson - completely unranked and unheralded, Katie is age 26, never had any WTA ranking of any kind, and yet has just won the doubles title in the 15k in Monastir. One for the 'They also serve.....' category

15. Dan Evans : Reached the L32 at the US Open, losing to Carlos Alcaraz in 4 sets. Then in the Davis Cup Finals group.stage in Manchester won his 2 singles matches and 2 out of 3 doubles matches ( with Neal Skupski ), saving 4 MPs in an ultimate third set TB decider vs Mahut & Roger- V of France, with some amazing play by both. Dan on court for nearly 5 hours on that final day.

17. Liam Broady - For finally cracking the Top 100 in the ATP rankings by reaching the final of the Challenger 125 in Saint Tropez

st her third ever ITF event - has won the title in the J60 in Greece. It's a name that going to be high up of the GB interest list for years to come.

In the earlier groups I voted for Dan, Joe and Jack and all 3 made it to the final. So I will stick with one of them.

Dan and Joe stand out for me and it is a really hard call - but, on balance, winning a third US Open doubles title on the run is so impressive after his poor season, that Joe gets my vote

Dan, he literally slung that Davis cup team over his shoulders and dived for the line.
Honourable mention to Liam, any other month he would have got my vote, breaking the top 100 after years of slog is a huge achievement.

Too early to share scores but the results are surprising me so far!

6 votes in so too early for any more detail!

Mr Broady.

... because Mr Evans has had my vote in previous months, and Mr Draper will doubtless get my vote in future months.

Thanks all - this is like a 5000 metre Olympic final, all boxing end edging and no one taking the pace on!

I really hope we can get more than 30 votes on this and mid 30s at least. We had a great July vote in the mid 40s but other recent months have been a little slower, and the entry list this time deserves a good number of votes.

11 so far.

Remember, the top 2 players in this vote qualify for Player of the Season - that vote is ONLY 2 months away, which is a shocker to me!!!

Those in 3rd and 4th get some credit towards ongoing performance in PoM votes and could qualify for Player of the Season as the best performer in the PoM votes over the year.

A couple of players in this final have qualified for player of the season through previous PoM votes already - but a few havent, so it will be interesting to see where it lands.

So far the vote is incredibly tight - every vote will certainly count and hopefully this evening will see a lot more votes coming through!!
