Over the past few years, we have had 56 players win or tie for a win in the Player of the Month votes.

Although the past two months have been won by men, overall our women have won 33 PoM's versus 23 for the men (a number of recent ties and also doubles wins are included in those numbers)

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Looking at how many qualifiers for PoS we have so far, and how many months we have left, it feels like we will end up with more than 28 qualifiers this season. Perhaps 32, once we include a couple of wild cards qualifiers as well.

Which is great - PoS vote will therefore most likely follow the same structure of three rounds, with 4 groups of 8, semis and then a final, although 32 would also play into a nice 4 round process as opposed to 3 rounds. I will see where we land numbers wise and how it feels closer to the date

And here is the updated voting stats over the years

Average Votes Change
2020 24.8
2021 28.9 16.67%
2022 35.4 22.51%
2023 40.0 13.07%
2024 43.8 9.38%

The past two months have shown a downward trend but overall we are well up on past seasons.

September in the past few years has had 21, 31, 35 and 33 votes respectively and is one of the slowest votes - we tend to pick up again in October and November, with Jan to April being the biggest voting months, for whatever reason. Let's see but September will most likely be similar to this month with voting in the early to mid 30's
