So, it is only November 3rd but I will get things moving - the wheelchair season effectively ends this weekend, so no chance for these guys to impress us more, so hence the early nomination.

Nominations List

1. Andy Lapthorne - reaching the semis of the NEC Wheelchair Masters, beating David Wagner (WR 3) along the way and pushing WR 2 , Sam Schroder, all the way. Andy surpassed expectations here and it is a great end to the season for him.

etc

Remember - this is the last player of the month until end of January - we combine December with January. So this is not the month to be reticent or shy. A nomination is a shout out for a job well done this month or in any week of the month.

So, if you want to nominate someone at any time, theres no limit on numbers and no limit on why someone is nominated, if you think theyve done a good job!

I may have created a rod for my back with Alfie and Gordon but Gordon deserves to not be judged by Alfies singles performance and so Ill see what happens in the singles final tomorrow. Meanwhile, this looks like it could be a wheelchair dominated month - and why not!

Nominations List

1. Andy Lapthorne - reaching the semis of the NEC Wheelchair Masters, beating David Wagner (WR 3) along the way and pushing second seed,  Sam Schroder, all the way. Andy surpassed expectations here and it is a great end to the season for him.

2 Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid - winning the ITF World Wheelchair Masters title, perfect record during the week and came from behind to win the final - marvellous as always! 

3. Alfie Hewett - wins the Wheelchair Masters title, unbeaten in the week, beating the top 8 players in the world to the games most prestigious prize! Add that to the doubles title as well and Alfie has had a perfect week and month!
