This month includes the end of the ATP season this week and then Turin next (just Henry representing Britain); the end of the main WTA tour this week - but not a Brit in sight- the Davis Cup Finals (ditto). But we have the BJK Cup with a British team, quite a few challengers and 125 events through the month, lots of ITF events still, and junior action, and the Wheelchair Masters in a couple of weeks, as well as NCAA Finals in a couple of weeks which will have British interest aplenty. There is also the Junior Girls BJK Cup next week, in Turkey, which includes a GB team of Mika, Hannah and Hollie Smart.

So quite a lot to follow and interest us and get some players nominated- be interesting to see if it generates a few new names to the nominations list, as a result.

The senior men lead the way this week at ATP level - Cam in a singles final, Luke his first doubles final, Jamie his second final in three weeks, and JoMo going flat out at Challenger level and on 18 straight wins now.

And Maia and Emily into the final in Midland, USA. 

Interesting to see if any push on for a week 1 nomination here.

Thanks Babfive! I did wonder re Jamie but thought as he was top seed and its not his first title, maybe it wasnt as big a win?

So week 1 of 4 has given us a few titles so far, as Indy said it was quality versus quantity. 3 weeks left in this month, Sunday December 1st will be the close.

Remember to add any new nominations by taking the last list, just quote it and add your nominee and a reason. And re post. Simples.

Nominations List

1 - Luke Johnson - for winning his first ATP 250 title (unseeded and with Sander Arends) at the Moselle Open in Metz, France.

2 - Jo Monday - I mean, come on. Followed up 3 straight titles in ITF events with a run to the semis in Knoxville Challenger, beating two top 200 players in the process. Ran Chris Eubank to a final set tie break; in the doubles final also, taking the title - all in all, a career week as he entered top 400 at around 364

3 - Emily Appleton and Maia Lumsden for winning the Midland WTA 125 title. This is Emily's first title at this level (and only Maia's second) and will see Emily reach a new CH of 94.

4. Cam Norrie - for ending a difficult year with a 250 singles final in Metz. Included a notable win over home favourite Moutet who he had lost to a year ago. Hopefully will restore some confidence for the start of next season.
