Millie Rajecki - Finished her US College career with a singles ranking of No 2, the highest singles ranking ever for a British female in US College tennis as well as the highest ranking ever in her team's history. Was named the ITA Senior Player of the Year. Reached the NCAA singles semi-final for the 2nd consecutive year. In her first month as a full-time pro, got 2 top 100 ranking wins at WTA250 in Birmingham and has since continued to make steady progress up the rankings. Won 2 doubles titles including the W100 in Shrewsbury with Mimi, her biggest title to date.
I'll get back to you in a day or 2 re the other 3 groups.
Alfie had another great year, with some excellent titles. Billy really improved and solidified and his ranking by continuing to work hard and go deep in so many tournaments. Millie made a really strong start to her post-College career. Emma showed again how talented and gutsy she is when she actually plays (alas, not enough of the time).
But my vote in this group is going to Julian. First ATP250 title after a few finals in 2023, followed by another one and then an ATP500. An impressive run across the year, and all against the (usual for doubles!) background of ups and downs with different partners.
