Sir Andy Murray July 2024 Player of the Month Award - Nominations thread


Thanks Rich and SuperT - good list developing after week 1. It is a 4 week month this month so not anticipating it growing to a 20 plus list, but you never know. Hopefully some more strong performances at Wimbledon in any of the formats of the game will add a few more to the list this week

1 - Sonay Kartal as a qualifier beating Sorana Cirstea WR29 in R1 of Wimbledon, who was nearly 200 places above her in rankings. Followed that up by beating Clara Burel WR45 in R2

2 - Jake Fearnley, for winning his first grand slam singles match in straight sets, beating a player nearly 100 places above him in the rankings and earning a rankings rise of around 50 places. And for taking a set off Novak Djokovic in the second round

3 . Sir Andy Murray for working his butt off just to get out there on court and play alongside his brother. Result doesn't matter. The man is a legend. Enough said.

4. Harriet Dart for making the 3rd round of Wimbledon, equalling her best performance at a GS, beating Katie for only the second time in 7 meetings (previously only in 2018) and potentially securing a new CH of 81 after Wimbledon.

5. Marcus Willis and Alicia Barnett - for beating the 8th seeds and three times grand slam champions Dodig and Chan and on court One and did it with style. What a chance that was to play on a big court and they took it!

Reaching the sharp end of week 2 of Wimbledon. And of July. By my calculations we have 20 chances of grand slam glory still:

2 mens doubles
3 mixed doubles
2 wheelchair singles
4 wheelchair doubles
4 junior singles
5 junior doubles

We also have the under 14 invitational event starting (not sure it has what I would call grand slam status but it is importent to the players involved)

Lets see if anyone gets a nomination as the end of the event unfolds.

Not that it should stop someone nominating them for PoM, but I wanted to check that if we have any champions from the list above, will they get automatic entry to PoS? Or does that only apply to seniors and wheelchair?

 They will - all 5 main draws , wheelchairs events and the 4 under 18 juniors Events all count as slam events that winning it will get you into poS. The under 14 I didnt plan to include as I dont think it has slam status as such and obviously not the various legends age group events! 

happy to be persuaded if I have the under 14 thing wrong!
