November 2024 Player of the Month Vote
Permalink  

Vote will close at 9.55 pm Tuesday 3rd December - our list is below: please say who you vote for and why! It helps, it does, honestly! 

And remember, all PoM winners and runners up qualify for Player of the Season in around one month. Only December POM to come and then player its player of the season:

1 - Luke Johnson - for winning his first ATP 250 title (unseeded and with Sander Arends) at the Moselle Open in Metz, France. Followed with a CH75 title in Lyon with Miedler

2 - Johannus Monday - 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/ 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.

5. Savannah Dada-Mascoll - Being a member of the first doubles team from Appalachian State University women's tennis programme to ever qualify for the NCAA Championships by reaching the final of the ITA Conference Masters Championships which she and partner goes on to win.

6. Sofia Johnson - Dominant in winning the ITA Conference Masters Championships and qualifying for the NCAA Singles Championships.

7. Jake Fearnley - for his run to the QF in the Helsinki CH125 (where he lost to Kei Nishikori, who had a CH of WR4 in 2015), which has allowed him to leapfrog several players with points off the following week and reach a new CH of WR89.

8. Henry Patten - for reaching the SF of the year end finals. Seeded 7 going into the event, beat 3 higher ranked pairs and amassed a 3-1 record overall. Henry in the verge of the top 10 now, and ends British doubles number one. 

9. Gordon Reid - for beating expectations and reaching the singles final in the NEC Wheelchair Masters, seeded 5th and beating Fernandez and de la Puente; also in the doubles final where he lost with Alfie Hewett. 

10. Harry Abel (age 17) - for winning the singles AND the doubles title at the J60 in Liverpool ( I think this is his first singles title, and always great to do it at a home tournament)

11. Holly Hutchinson/Ella McDonald - for winning the W50 in Funchal, the biggest title to date for both of them, and after a great comeback from 4-8 down in the tiebreak.

12 . Emma Raducanu - who followed up her top form in the BJK Cup on clay in France with 3/3 wins in Malaga (6/6 sets ), and not having played in a number of weeks, that took Team GB to the brink of reaching the final for the first time in 43 years. Unfortunately Katie couldnt quite see it through and the deciding doubles went against us. Although the vocal support from the other team members is not to be underrated I have to put Emma forward rather than the team ! 

13. GB BJK Cup Team - Unlucky for some and it was for the GB women in the BJK Cup. Yet lucky for GB to have our second semi-finalists in three years. A team isn't just the players on the court, its the captain, Anne, the physios , trainers, hitting partners and alternate. Together they made a great team. In addition GB went into this as the second lowest ranked team in the 12 finalists. It wasn't to be this year but it it will come. Making history after 42 years takes a little longer. Well done girls!

14. Lui Maxted - NCAA Doubles Champion (with Pedro Vives). The third GB male and first since 2015 to win the doubles National Championship. Only the 2nd individual NCAA title for TCU and first since 1981

15. Jodie Burrage - on the comeback trail following injury, during November Jodie has reached the semi-finals in singles of a W35, W50 and the final of a W75 and also the semi-finals of the doubles in the W75.

16. Brooke Black - remarkable week in the Oslo J200 for the recently turned 17 yo. Won her first title at this level, wiining the singles without dropping a set, and beating the top seed JWR 35, 2nd seed JWR 54 and 4th seed, JWR 77 in the final, SF and QF respectively. Was also RU in the doubles with Daniela Piani. In the previous week Brooke reached the Stavanger J100 singles SF.

17. Edie Griffiths - won both the.singles and doubles titles in the Stirling J60, following on from a final spot in Maribor J60 singles the week before.  

18. Rhys Lawlor - won the Stirling J60 singles title ( and was RU in the doubles ), his first ITF singles title at the age of 15.

I could have voted several ways, but three players/groups played and did brilliantly on a world stage:

Emma and the BJK Cup team
Gordon
Henry

And I think Gordon, for me, was the one who outdid all expectations and so Im voting for him.

Early votes suggest this could be one where the votes end up being spread far and wide!

 Err, there have been 3 votes so far   biggrin

Although ultimately you may be right since it is to my mind in relative terms to some recent months, a much of a muchness month.

Credit still to what the nominees have achieved. I'll leave final consideration of my vote until tomorrow.

 Well, yes- 4 now! I was perhaps predicting where it might go, as opposed to being too fixed on the here and now! Nonetheless, 4 votes , 4 recipients

Henry's performance with Harri in the Year End Finals was the stand out performance for me - top result!!

Gordon Reid delivered above expectation but when Oda's on his game he's unstoppable

I was extremely pleased with the BJK team's result although I thought that better match captaincy could have delivered more - Katie needed firing up and even though it was just a matter of time before we needed the doubles team to deliver, they looked unprepared

Reminder this runs through to 9.55pm Tuesday. If you vote, please feel free to tell us who you vote for and why - it draws the vote to the attention of others and helps keep it alive over the couple of days. As opposed to me droning on and on, and not even my wife and family like that, I can assure you. So go for it!

I went for Luke, because a first title at 250 level is a Big Deal for me.

I was also tempted to vote for Brooke, because that's also a big step up for her. And yes, lots of pleasing and solid performances from everyone without any of them being a real standout (or one of a handful of real standouts -- we've had some very exciting/difficult to choose months recently.)

Shout outs for what Emma and Henry achieved in high level pressurised environments.

But my vote goes to Brooke. She may hardly be one of our younger juniors, having just turned 17 and rightly or wrongly having raised some eyebrows re her amount of senior WCs ( no doubt in no way her fault ) but as Tanaqui says that was a big step up over a couple of weeks, the second of which showed particular consistency of results over a number of matches for that J200 title. It would be great to look back on this month as the month when a player with an apparently very solid well coached game began to show some really important extras that helped her significantly push on.

Good stuff Indy, I hope youre right and she really presses on - not sure if she is playing more this season, would be great if she gets another week to consolidate in December, lets see.
