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


Would I be considered biased if .... wink

1. Dan Evans. Do I need to explain? For winning the longest ever US Open match over Khachanov, at 5 hours 35 minutes, and backing it up with another win over 36th ranked Navone in reaching the third round, where fatigue caught up with him. Inspiring and gutsy.

2. Max Basing currently ranked 1000+, reaching final of an M15 beating 5th seed 522 and 7th seed, highest ranking also in 500s along the way. Building on it with a run to the title M25 Bali where he beat the 4th seed ranked in the 400s in the semis, and the 8th seed ranked in the 500s along the way

3. Jack Draper. only the 4th British player to reach the US Open semi in the open era. Getting to his first slam semi final at the US Open without dropping a set including a win over the conqueror of Alcaraz and top 10 ranked De Minaur .Overcome in the semis by a combination of sickness and number 1 seed Sinner but fought to the end in a 3 hour struggle. Hes showing himself to be a potential slam winner and moves into the top 20.

4. Alfie Hewett/ Gordon Reid - winning the paralympics mens doubles gold medal - their first gold and on top of winning all 3 slams this year as well. In four matches, lost no sets and just 17 games

5. Mika Stojsavljevic - winning the us open girls singles at the age of 15! On the way beating Jovic who won a round in the women's singles. Our first winner of this since 2009 when Heather won it and only the second GB girl to reach the final since the tournament started.

6. Jan Choinski - winning his third challenger title of his career and first in over 12 months, unseeded, and getting a 100 place ranking boost to around 176 in the process 

7. James Story - from qualies, came through to win his first ever ITF title at the M15 in Monastir, ranked below 2000, he beat several players in the top 1000 in the process and followed a doubles title the previous week at the same location 

8. Billy Harris - for making his Davis Cup debut at the age of 29 and winning his first ever match for Team GB against Finland to give us victory in the opening Round Robin match


 Haha! Thanks Bob
