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

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

yes, still ongoing

I've no idea about the draws - life's too short and I refuse to jump through hoops like a circus lion

But the matches are live on Bet365, and BETSAPI has a list of the results

So I've seen a little of Leticia and Isabelle this week, dipping in and out, and followed their scores (and others)

They'll be some more full, proper nominations soon, sure of it

Nominations

1. Zech Hamrouni - won the J100 title in Loughborough for his first title in singles at this level, previously won a J30 in 2023. Will rise over 100 places to top 300 with this win. And apparently a nice guy as well!

2. Daniela Piani - capping off a breakout year by winning her fourth J100 title of 2024, at Loughborough. This should take her to a new CH.

3. Jodie Burrage - for reaching the final in the singles and the semi-final in the doubles (with Freya Christie) at the W100 in Dubai. This will take her back into the top 200 in singles and top 250 in doubles. In addition to being excellent results in themselves, Jodie has shown a lot of improved mental toughness: when she's had moments of getting frustrated, she's been able to settle down, figure out hiow to counter what's annoying her and turn sets around.

4. Stefan Cooper - age 28 - just won his first ITF title - the doubles at the M15 in Mexico. They also serve who only stand and wait. (And he's quite a fun guy to watch)

Hi Tanaqui - are you good for the Jodie upgrade here?!

Just to say, when we get to the vote (and apropos nothing!!) , if a player gets no votes they cant take one of the top 2 places ie if one player gets all the votes, there wont be a runner up. Dont get something for nothing in this world.

Just a reminder

Tanaqui · Club Coach

Jodie update done!

3. Jodie Burrage - for winning the W100 in Dubai and reaching the the semi-final in the doubles (with Freya Christie). The W100 title is her best by some distance (her previous best title was a W60.) During the tournament, she only lost one set. In the final, she beat the number 1 seed, an in-form Kudermetova who had just reached a new CH. Jodie's wins here will take her back into the top 200 in singles and top 250 in doubles. In addition to being excellent results in themselves, Jodie has shown a lot of improved mental toughness: when she's had moments of getting frustrated, she's been able to settle down, figure out hiow to counter what's annoying her and turn sets around.

Hannah plays junior 500 singles QF later
