Sam won the third ever player of the month in March 2020. It was a strange one though as Covid hit that month and stopped tennis halfway into the month. Nonetheless we had a vote and Sam won it, with 100 percent of the vote, if I recall correctly , although we only had something like 18 voters.

I cant find the thread as at that time I went made on fantasy polls to humour us all, little did we know what would happen going forwards .

But, yep, Sams a past Pom winner !

Good on you SuperT

Back 5-6 years ago, just looking at the 2002-ers, both Arthur and Felix were very low on the LTA interest list. All focus was on Toby Samuel, Ben Heynold etc etc. Supporting the underdogs, as always, it's very heartening to see both Arthur and Felix doing well. And if the LTA were right about Toby, at least, then all the better
