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!

4. Luke Johnson - for regaining his singles ranking, with a win in his first singles match since Feb 2023.

5. Giles Hussey - For reaching the final in a 25k, and despite losing in 3 sets, driving 3 hours and going straight back on court to win a QR1 challenger match. Oh, and did I mention that he has broken into the Top 500 as a result of this.

6. Billy Harris - For taking out his CH ranking again (and again), for getting through qualies in Sofia and then winning his first ever ATP Main Tour MD match in a 3rd set breaker.

7. Jack Draper, for reaching his first ATP tour final (beating WR 27 and 28 on the way), after living up to his #1 seeding and winning a close final against David Goffin in the Challenger 75 event the week before.

8. Emilie Lindh - for reaching, in consecutive weeks, a W25 SF and a W25 Final from qualifying in both weeks, having never got past a QF in a W25 before. Along the way she got a career high ranking win in the first week by defeating the top seed, and in the 2nd week took out the previous week's winner and got her 3rd highest career win by ranking. It will also take her to a new career high at around 460, breaking in to the Top 500 for the first time.

9. Gabia Paskauskas (born 2006) - for doing the double, winning the J200 singles AND doubles titles in Malaysia, her first such titles, and very likely breaking into the top-100 for the first time

10. Sarah Beth Gray and Eden Silva for winning the biggest title of their careers for both of them, the W60+H in Calgary. A big jump up for Beth, who's never won a title at a level higher than W25, and a smaller one for Eden, who has won a W60 but there are enhanced points for a W60+H.

11. The Junior Billie-Jean King Cup Team for coming third in the competition

I have to say Im getting very excited about the forthcoming voting season in a few weeks. November Pom in 3 weeks looks like being a good field of nominations; the pos wild card vote looks like a nice taster for the main fare of player of the season and that looks like it will be wide open this season, with a number of strong candidates.

Cant wait - I dont want the next three weeks to pass too quickly but , actually, I do want them to pass quickly !
