Nomination - October 2023

1 Freya Peet - born in 2008 - has just won the J100 singles title in Botswana (having won the J60 singles title last week). She was about JWR 1300 two weeks ago, and beat the 3rd seed, ranked 344 today.

2 Sam Murray-Sharan - returning to competitive tennis after maternity leave, winning the W25 doubles title (with Olivia Gadecki from Australia) in her first tournament back.

3 Felix Gill for winning the 25K in Zaragoza. "The biggest singles title of his career so far! - his 3rd ITF World Tour singles title, the other two being at M15 level" As per Steven on Twitter

4 Arthur Fery - for reaching the final of the Challenger 100 Open de Vendee, as a qualifier and beating David Goffin along the way, his first challenger final. Enters the top 300 in the process.

5. Billy Harris - for taking out WR 42 and former Top 10 player Roberto Bautista Agut in Malaga for a Career Best ranking scalp and guaranteeing himself a new CH ranking in the process. Subsequently reached the top 250 following the Hamburg Challenger where he is into the semis.

6. Abigail Amos - winning W15 doubles titles in consecutive weeks in Monastir (her first career titles) with Marente Sijbesma

7. Maia Lumsden - winning the WTA 125 doubles in Rouen (with Jessika Ponchet). Her biggest title so far and first above ITF level and in the process becoming the GB #1 in women's doubles.

8. Hannah Klugman (age 14) - winning through qualis and into the QFs at J100 Shrewsbury. Beating 3 x WTA 550-600 players. And then beating Lily, WTA 163. The youngest player ever to do this, I believe.

9. Jake Fearnley - ranked 1782 and a qualifier, easily beat a series of higher ranked, seeded opponents to reach the final of M25 Edgbaston (with the finals still to come); won the doubles title (w/Connor Thomson) in the same M25 event

I was waiting to see how Hannah and Marni got on today. I'll give Marni another day - she's only played two matches this week and is out of the doubles now, so no quite there yet for a POM nomination from me.
