1. Julian Cash/ Lloyd Glasspool - taking the ATP 500 Japan Open, unseeded. Julians first title at this level and takes him to a new career high ranking; a welcome return to top tier titles for Lloyd. Well done, lads.
2. Megan Knight for (age 13) winning the singles and doubles at the J30 in Loughborough. In the singles, she progressed through the draw without losing a set as a WC and beat the top seed in the final.
3. Oli Bonding, aged 17, for getting his first ATP ranking point and therefore his first ranking at a CH of 1936. Also for making the final of the J300 singles in Beijing and winning the doubles (with Roh of Korea) at the same tournament.
4. Olivia Nicholls for consolidating her position as GB doubles No 1 with a new CH of 41. This is resulting from a succesful trip to China with regular partner Tereza Mihalikova. They reached the QF in Beijing beating the top seeds, Dabrowski WR3 and Routliffe WR2 on the way as well as Pegula (CH=1) and Mohammad. In Wuhan they beat Kenin and Mattek-Sands (CH=1) to be continued as they are still there and have two more tournaments to come this month.

And remember - a nomination doesnt mean you necessarily think the nominated player is the player of the month or that you have to vote for them. Its a nod to a great performance, or more. And that they should be recognised and at least on the poll and in the conversation.

6. Sonay Kartal for winning the W100 in Shrewsbury and (potentially) setting a new CH of 91. With no points to defend this year it's likely this will secure her place in the AO main draw.
