Their nomination comments :

1. Ophelia Korpanec Davies (2009) - winning the J100 singles title in South Africa, after the doubles title the previous week. Her first titles at this level. Still age 15.

2. Emily Appleton - for winning the 15K in Canada and then making the final the following week. She has been focussing more on doubles for the last year or so. All credit to her for dropping a couple of levels in order to try and progress her singles career.

3.Jamie Murray - for reaching 1000 matches, only the second active player to do so in doubles (after Melo) and the first Brit.

4. Sonay Kartal - for reaching R4/the last 16 of the Indian Wells WTA1000 (as a lucky loser!), beating the WR17 along the way and achieving a new CH of 63.

5. George Loffhagen - winning TWO singles 25k titles in Portugal, back to back - and hopefully back on track, after a circuitous route, with injuries, studies, pub duties in Mayfair, self-doubt, too many expectations, etc etc. Still only 23....

6. Oliver Crawford - winning two back to back M25 titles in China - he'd lost his previous two finals and is trying to get back on track after a big dip in ranking; the two China wins will take him close to the top 300 once more - and I know very little about him but maybe he needs a boost by being on our PoM voting roster?

7. Olivia Nicholls - reaching the WTA1000 doubles final at Indian Wells (with Tereza Mihalikova). They beat the #5 and #7 seeds on the way and will have new career highs of 31 and 33. The biggest result of their careers.

8. Jack Draper - for winning Indian Wells. Won his first M1000 title, rising to WR7 and into the top 10 for the first time, with victories over Alcaraz, Fritz and Rune to take the title. Game over.

9. Emma Raducanu - reached the Miami QF, just her second QF at WTA 1000 level or better, the first being that wee title in 2021. Some really good tennis included beating Emma Navarro WR 10 before losing in 3 sets to Jessica Pegula WR 4, Emma latterly requiring MTOs due to dizziness. Back into the top 50 for the first time since 2022.

10. Julian Cash & Lloyd Glasspool - RU in the ATP Miami 1000 doubles ( to the joint WR 1s ). Represents Julian's 1st ATP 1000 final and Lloyd's 2nd and takes them up to WR 16 (CH for Julian) & WR 15 respectively, GB #3 & #2.

11. Stuart Parker - started the month WR 560 but with a great ATP Challenger 50 Hersonissos RU week as a qualifier, and then in the last week more Greek success with the Heraklion M15 title, he will be up to about WR 435 on Monday week.

12. Team GB men - for being the first nation to win 5 mens singles titles in one week on the ITF World Tour since the ITF start the world tennis tour as a brand

13. Francesca Jones - for winning the W75 event in Brazil.

I'm sure Jack will run away with this, so I'm thinking about who to give my tactical vote to as someone has to come second !

 I was wondering about doing that. But if we all do it, Jack won't win!!!

At the risk of Jack not winning (seems unlikely looking at the votes atm), I've gone for a vote for runner up and chosen Liv Nicholls and her WTA1000 doubles final. Although Liv and Tereza have been on the rise in the past year, that still feels like them exceeding expectaitions at this point, given their current rankings.

I feel that doubles players are often rather neglected so as part of a campaign to redress that I have voted for Olivia Nicholls.

Hmm. I have a few potential runners-up - several players who had really good months. So I'm going to vote for my first choice, Jack.
