2023 Player of the Season Wild Card Vote - Group C
Permalink  

So, there are 3 wild card places up for grabs in the Player of the Season vote. There are 22 players assigned randomly to 3 groups and 1 player from each group will get into the Player of the Season field. Players have not been allocated by singles or doubles, junior or senior, female or male. It is simply a random allocation.

Just the top player. No room for any tactical voting here.

The 3 players winning through will join the 25 in Player of the Season already to make up a field of 28.

Vote for whoever you wish to for whatever reason - could be the best, just your favourite, could be someone who achieved one single feat or achieved stuff all year around.

The players in this group are list below. Votes will close on Thursday evening at 9pm   

7 players in this Group C

C       
        
21. Amarni Banks - progressed this season to the fringes of the top 300 and into the GB top 10. Gave huge indications of what more may be possible if she can stay fit and well in the Shrewsbury W100 where she reached the final, beating 3 top 200 players on the way.
16.Jack Pinnington-Jones - ranked #3 in the US College rankings. As per the college thread "became just the second ITA National Fall Championships finalist in the TCU program's 49-year history. He is the first TCU player to reach a national singles final since 1982. Pinnington's performance cemented him among the sport's rising amateur starts. The London native concluded the fall season with a 12-3 singles record. Seven of his wins were against ranked opponents. All but two of his victrices were sweeps".
15- Emily Webley Smith for keeping on, keeping on. I don't follow her much though but I know she's somewhat of a stalwart, keeps plugging away and I knows she just had her equipment stolen and I think a parent was unwell and she took time off?
4. Viktor Frydrych - 17 years old for winning his first ITF U18 J300 event in Beijing in October this year. Moving nicely up the junior ranking to mid 50s. Another up and coming star from Colwyn Bay in North Wales.As Chris Lewis Tennis Wales noted, from Viktor first practise sessions at Colwyn Bay they knew he had potential.
8. Dan Cox - Dan largely goes unheralded and plugs away at the ITF level. But for those of you who remember, hes become our King of Grass - this year he won the most grass court matches of all Brits; but he also did it last year. And deserves credit for that!
3. Max Lendrum - 12 years old. Another Welsh up and coming potential star of the future.Coached by Francesca Lewis at Swansea (Mimis old stamping ground). Max beat the number one seed Frederick Fabricus to take the National U12 title at the Lexus indoor chamionship in Bolton in October - his first national chamionship title. Achieved without dropping a set and followed up by reaching the boys double final in the same event.
23. Oli Bonding - aged just 16, Oli has impressed this season by reaching 28 in the world junior rankings, including winning a J300 title (singles and doubles) in Barranquilla.

Sorry to Var for getting the two Welsh lads in the same group - it was bound to happen and was purely a random draw, honest !

While I admit to long term interest, I do think Marni is the one from here and from that selection she gets my vote for her progress this year.

This was the most difficult group for me to decide as I'm not very familiar with any of the players but I agree with others that Marni is the one who has really pushed on (and upwards) this year.

I don't know much about most of these, but have heard how Marni has been doing well recently, so voted for her.
