7 Katie Boulter (needs at least 1 win)
7 Naiktha Bains (cant top alone, needs other results to fall into place)
6 Sonay Kartal (needs to reach round 3 at least)
4 Emma Raducanu (needs to reach last 8 at least)
4 Harriet Dart (needs to reach last 8 at least)
2 Fran Jones (needs to reach final at least)
1 Heather Watson (needs to win title!)
1 Lily Miyazaki (needs to win title!)
Above shows the contenders (7 Wimbledon players and Naiktha) and what they need to do to top the table
Hard not to think it realistically between Katie and Sonay now, with Emma a possible longer shot
These are those who voted and could still in theory get this right:
Emma R - JonH, Tanaqui, The Addict, Goldfish, Strongbow, SuperT, Ralfie
Katie B - Miriam ABC, Jan, Danny1312, Dodrade, Indiana, Brittak
Harriet D - Blue Belle, Simon381
Sonay K - Mdewey, Telstar
the smart options look like those who went with Katie and those with Sonay, Id say - Emma and Harriet feel like outsiders.
cant recall who these voters went for in the mens but anyone getting both correct will deserve big kudos (Jaggy did last season but didnt take part this year).
Womens doubles is over for week 5 of 7, with just Wimbledon to come - Harriet just leads by 1, but in essence all the players at Wimbledon could get to the top of the pile or equal top (hence having three players on 0 wins at the bottom of the list). The draws don't look too good though!

Day 33 of 43 and Harriet beating Katie really makes this interesting - Katie can no longer win outright but could tie it and Sonay, Emma and Harriet all have a chance to storm through the gap!

In 2022, the women got 78 wins; in 2023, they achieved 80 wins. This year, the women have reached 78 wins at this stage; with 3 players left in that could increase. But, in essence, we have landed in roughly the same place as the past two seasons - consistency!
At the moment, Tanaqui is sitting on a Billy Harris and possibly Emma R double, although a bit of a way to go; but certainly looks like the only person who can get a double, as Bob didnt vote in the womens and none of the other mens contenders in Newport had any actual support in the predictions.
As I was an Emma voter and it would be great to see her get a few more wins, it would also be great to see Tanaqui do the double!!
Let's see - Sonay still has a good chance and Harriet could still pull it out as well!
