Updated Heather's nomination a bit to reflect the #1 spot. Am keeping my eye on what Maia gets up to in Limoges in the hopes she can be nominated too.

Nominations

1. Hannah Klugman - for winning the prestigious Orange Bowl championship, a J500 event. Aged 14. The first British girl ever to have done so. Past winners of this event include Chris Evert, Caroline Wozniacki, Bianca Andreescu and Coco Gauff. Hannah also reached the doubles semifinal.

2. Heather Watson - for building on a successful end of Nov/beginning of December (when she reached the SF of the singles and final of the doubles of the W125 in Andorra, apparently being prevented from winning both matches by a minor injury sustained in the singles) and . reaching the SF of the W100 in Dubai, only losing by a whisker, and the final in the doubles. The net result saw her leapfrog over Maia Lumsden on 11 Dec to re-take the #1 British women's doubles spot. And for playing really well and giving us all a lot of pleasure at seeing Hev back, hitting that ball.

3. Kat Barnes - for getting her third counter, and a WTA ranking, by making the QFs, beating well ranked players along the way

4. Hannah Rylatt - for winning the J100 at Loughborough, even though she was only 6th seed

5. Jay Clarke & James Mackinlay - for back-to-back doubles titles at Turkey 15ks (particularly noteworthy for James, tbh, but well done to both - and for giving us something to smile about in a relatively skinny tennis period)

 Perfect! Thank you CD!

6. Ranah Stoiber - for capping off a nice year of progress, resulting in a career high end of year ranking on the main tour, and setting herself up nicely for full time on the main tour in 2024, by winning the British Tour Masters.

7. Marcus Walters - for winning the British Tour Masters.

(I had my eye on nominating Ranah if no one else had done it by the time Maia had finished her match! But here you go, Jon. Also nominated Marcus, but I don't know anything about him, so maybe someone else can add more detail.)

8. Paul Jubb - for winning the 15K in Spain after a long period out due to injury.

9. Jack Draper - for winning the UTS Season Final. It may not be standard tennis but Jack showed he can compete with and beat much higher ranked players. Given the fast pace of the format, he's also demonstrated he's ended an injury-ridden season with a great level of fitness.
