2023 Player of the Season Wild Card Vote - Group B
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 B

B       
        
6. Emily Appleton - for her dedication and progress up the rankings. Although Emily's schedule is largely dictated by doubles she has managed to improve her singles ranking to 386 on 31 Oct (and a career high 368 a couple of weeks earlier) from 793 on 31 Oct last year. She's also improved her doubles ranking to 139 from 194. She's done this by playing week in week out having played 28 singles events and 34 doubles events during 2023 to date.
11. Jack Draper - for reaching his first ATP tour final (beating WR 27 and 28 on the way) and climbing back up the rankings after injury troubles and falling to a ranking low of 123 in August.
10. Louis Bowden - topped the UKPL league standings this season, including winning the UKPL events in weeks 4 and 6. Didn't play Finals week, but had the best league season of all men's players.
9. Danielle Daley - topped the UKPL league standings this season, including winning the UKPL event in week 3. Overall top points scorer on the women's league circuit
2. Julian Cash - a new career high inside the top 50, thanks to 5 challenger titles (at 75, 100 x 2 and 125 x 2 level), together with numerous other finals, including his first 3 ATP250 finals (all with different partners). And all that despite the ending of a long-term successful partnership mid-season.
19. Ciara Moore - for topping the season long British Tour leaderboard, and comfortably as well.
18.  Toby Samuel - from relatively few tour appearances, Toby has shown real further progression. In singles he entered the top 500 with a November CH of 404, reaching QR2 at Wimbledon and being a winner and a RU in domestic M25s. In doubles he has a November CH 254, reaching MD R2 at Wimbledon ( with Connor Thomson ) and winning ATP Challenger 75 Drummondville ( with Andre Goransson ).

For me it was a choice here between Jack and Toby. Jack was player of the season last year, of course, Toby shows real promise. But winning an ATP 250 for the first time gets Jack my vote

With a big nod to what Toby has achieved and being very pleasantly surprised by Emily's year, I felt Jack just had to be in the final.

I've got for Julian for taking a big step up in level and sustaining it across the whole year.

I had a mid season downer on Julian as I felt , rightly or wrongly, the split with Henry was a poor call. But it seems he has pushed on and vindicated it.

This group is certainly wide open.
