I was torn four ways but it could have been 10 ways!

Arthur caught my eye and had a great month; Jake Fearnley also had two great weeks, one to watch.

Julian did amazingly - four finals and 3 titles in the month , hard to beat at any level.

And Billy just played his heart out, each week, making the top 250 to boot. 3 semis and a quarter, 11 wins in the month and beating Bautista-Agut


Billy gets my vote!

Remember , please dont feel shy and do say who you vote for - no one will judge you, all our reasons are our own, but it makes it more interesting and also posting on the thread attracts others to the vote and encourages them to vote themselves.

The top 2 in the vote get into player of the season, so a lot to vote for! And that takes place in just over a month !

Hannah - tough call but her achievements at only 14 swayed it for me.

I could have voted for several players, with Hannah, Mimi, Maia and Marni all having their high spots this month. Can't really choose between them so I'm going to vote for Marni as I don't suppose she has any votes yet and I enjoyed watching play.
