We have several weeks of grass coming up and for the past few years we have tracked which British players win the most main draw and qualifying draw matches!
And it is time to go again!
Starting with Birmingham, we will track the wins in qualies and main draw through all the events in Britain and overseas, through to the end of Wimbledon (for the women). The wins that count include all main draws and qualies AND include the LTA Wild Card Play offs pre qualifiers that take place.
Your job is to predict which player you think will get the most wins!!
When you vote, please say for whom and I will anoint a winner at the end.
For the last 3 years, the players with most wins have been:
2022 - 16 wins - Dan Cox; 10 wins - Andy Murray and Stuart Parker
2023 - 13 wins - Dan Cox; 11 wins - Andy Murray, Billy Harris, Charlie Broom
2024 - 14 wins - Billy Harris; 9 wins - Jake Fearnley and Paul Jubb
There is of course no Dan Cox (and no ITF grass events) and no Andy Murray this year; Billy though has proven himself to be the grass court King in 2024, but with strong competition this year, I expect!
In 2024, we had 89 grass court wins over main draws and qualies for British men singles players. 2 people predicted Billy to top the tables last year and so go into 2025 as our de facto defending champions
Namely, Tanaqui and Bob in Spain.
Bob is back to the board just in time to have a go this year, so let the competition begin, with the votes going up next week!
I have listed the top 19 men as of today plus AN other, in case you think someone outside the top 19 will win!
Enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE, I HAVE DECIDED TO CLOSE THIS POLL END OF THE DAY FRIDAY 30TH MAY, AS PLAY STARTS OVER THAT WEEKEND IN BIRMINGHAM AND IT IS BETTER TO CLOSE PREDICTIONS BEFORE PLAY ACTUALLY STARTS.
PLEASE NOTE AND DONT MISS THE DEADLINE!

Please note, some may wonder why I missed certain players out - I could only list 19 so took the top 19 and added AN Other to cover those below the top 19 - if you want to vote, say, Kyle, then put AN Other and then post which player you vote for.
Regardless, when you vote, please say who you vote for so we can track who gets it right at the end of the grass season!!
With a grass pedigree and more likely to be in challenger or qualies as opposed to the bigger ATP draws, I think Ryan is showing some form and could pick up wins.
If you are unsure how this works - we are trying to predict which Brit will win the most grass court matches - in main draw, qualies, and in the LTA wild card play offs. At GS/WTA/ATP and Challenger level (there anren't any ITF events this year); LTA wild cards are included BUT LTA British Tour is not.
We will track the wins and anoint a British player who gets the most wins - more importantly, we will anoint the board member who predicts that player correctly.
Get both men and women right and you will get special kudos - Jaggy did it two years ago, last year no one managed both men and women.
This is heart over head (although he did pretty well last year) but I'm going for Jake F. I'm already planning to follow his matches closely but it's an extra reason to root for him!
