Nobody has broken through onto our list this week, yet. However, I think, in order, we still finals to come which have Amelia Rajecki (playing now), Heather Watson (in the early hours), Dan Hughes (juniors, early morning), Joe Salisbury (tomorrow late morning), Anton (tomorrow lunchtime) ,Julian Cash (tomorrow lunchtime) and Charlie Broom (singles final at time to be determined) in action. 

As Charlie is the last to play, Ill close nominations half an hour after he finishes and get the October vote up later tomorrow evening .

It feels like the main players who might have been nominated so far but arent (excepting those still to play later today in their respective finals) may be Mimi and Hamish. Ill leave it to others to determine if they should be added to the list - please dont be shy, anyone can add them or anyone else, just quote the current list below and add a name and a reason and re post the updated list !

 Yes, Mimi definitely, Hamish probably - but the other obvious for me is Millie - an 80k title in dubs is amazing, she's only 21 and doesn't play pro full time. 

But I've nominated a lot ....

Nominations: 

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 mid September, and beat the 3rd seed, reached ranking of 344 but now at 402 (23rd Oct)
