Just a few days left in this months process now. 9 nominations so far - I think Indy is quite likely away somewhere, not sure if he wanted to nominate Alice Gillan or someone else agrees and wants to do the necessary (TA?)

---

 I might - if I can find Indy's post about Alice. I really can't remember where it was.

 It was in this tournament thread, page 1

1. Jacob Fearnley - won 2 Q rounds plus 2 MD rounds to reach the L32 of the Madrid Masters, before a close one vs Grigpr Dimitrov either side of lights out. Took him to another CH and his L64 victory over Tomas Machac WR 20 was a CH win. Followed up by winning a round in Italian Open, taking out Fognini in his last Rome match.

2. Jack Draper - an extremely impressive run to the final of the Madrid Masters - found his clay feet and sent a message to the tennis world; rises to number 5 in the world and above Djokovic as a result and also to number 2 in the 2025 Race. Followed up with a QF place in Rome, losing only to Carlos Alcaraz

3. Hollie Smart - age 15 - unranked, no MD wins in adults before. Has now won two qualis rounds, and two MD rounds at W35 in Nottingham, beating two top-600 players, a top-800 and a top-900

4. Dom Iannotti - in the Virtus Games Para Tennis World championships for players with intellectual disabilities, Dom took all 4 titles - singles, mens doubles, mixed doubles and mens team - in an epic display of dominance

5. Anna McBride - at the Virtus Games, Anna retained her world title and also won the mixed with Dom, as well as womens doubles bronze and womens team bronze.

6. Team GB Junior Wheelchair World Cup Team - brilliant performance to win the Wheelchair World Cup, seeded 4th in an 8 team event, won all 5 of their matches before dispatching USA in the final - congrats to our team of Ruben Harris, Lucas John De Gouveai, Matt Knoesen and Will Barton

7. Fran Jones - for winning the W75 in Prague without dropping a set and reaching a CH

8. Liv Zingg - age 13 - has just won the J30 singles AND doubles in Kenya, beating the top seed, taking her first titles

9. Katie Boulter- for winning the 125 k Clarins Paris event, beating Andreeva , Savill and then 3 French clay courters in a row to clinch the title. Not bad for someone who absolutely hated playing on clay until as recently as a month ago , to win her first clay court title in Paris ! A good omen for Katie ??

10. Alice Gillan - winning the W15 at Monzon Spain reaching a CH

11. Cameron Norrie - After a lean spell, beset by illness, injury and poor form, seeing his ranking drop to almost out of the top 100, Cam has reached the SF in the ATP 500 tournament in Geneva.
