And already we are at the business end of the week, week 1 of 4 in November PoM period.

DF has summarised where we are in the Friday Feeling thread

Anyone tempted over the weekend, you know the nominations process by now!!

Cam, Millen, Toby, Aidan and Lauryn in weekend singles action, a sprinkling of doubles players and a number of college players battling for NCAA places.

Tour Finals start tomorrow for the mens doubles pairs, wheelchair tour finals on Monday. Hopefully something to shout for in that little lot?!

Will one of these become our first nomination (s) of November?! Remember, anyone can nominate a player, just add them to the list and give a reason why you nominate them. Its a team effort, so please dont wait for others!

Nominations:

1. Cam Norrie - maybe Cam should have won this title, but he came in seeded 7, won round after round from behind and almost took the title in Metz. We have only had two ATP singles finalists all year, Jack in IW and now this and it is Cams only final of the season. We should celebrate that and the fact he has come back from nearly out of the top 100 to a likely Aussie Open seeding.

We only had 1 nominee this past week, 3 more weeks to go.

Hoping this week leads to more nominations coming through. Remember player of the month is about the month. So take a look at the players and their performance relative to others in November, if thats makes sense.

A week and a half into November now, 2 1/2 weeks to go. Business end of the week coming up from tomorrow!!

Its Friday feeling time, thanks DF. And our list for PoM is short

Anyone feeling like someone here deserves a nomination - just go for it!

Quality week with Joe/Neal, Julian/Lloyd, Henry leading the charge at World TOur Finals level in Turin; And Alfie, Alfie/Gordon and Andy doing the same in the Wheelchair version in China. And Liam has, to me, secured a nomination with his performance in Lyon, and maybe more to come. And Katie doing good things in Brisbane, go a bit further and maybe she will be a contender...other nomination potentials may be available.

If any of these catch your eye over the weekend, don't be shy and get them on the list.

Well done to Katie, into the final down in Queensland.

2. TBD - World Tour Finals Doubles - one of (at least) Joe/Neal, or Henry. Let's see who comes out on top!! - narrative to be written and updated accordingly

lets call it a holding nomination! If anyone wants to go ahead and jump in, that is not a problem!! Or for any other player this weekend, I can see at least two other nominations looming, maybe 3

Clearly there will be more coming after this week, just folk are presumably letting things play out for end of week narratives, with no rush at the end of week 2 of the month.

Agree - just wanted to recognise the general doubles excellence before homing in on the ones. And definitely know more will come - just like to keep the attention on this just a little!

There is an interesting conundrum here. What do we do about Katie? She has been steadily achieving over an extended period and not so far been nominated. Does that qualify as PoM November (we cannot change history, we did not nominate her before as far as I remember) or do we wait and nominate her for the wildcard vote as she spread her success over several months?

No conundrum

Katie S was nominated in September after her Wagga Wagga W35 title and RU ( 2 of the 4 big weeks she has had in Australia so far including this week ), though only got 1 vote that month. And IMO has already done enough in one week to be nominated this month and, from at least one comment I have read in the Brisbane W50 thread, I know I am not the only one thinking that. So she will be nominated and hopefully add to her narrative as this month proceeds.

She was also nominated for July when she she won a W35 title and reached a W75 SF in Spain. Got 5 votes.

And if she doesn't get into PoS through a PoM vote, I can't imagine she wouldn't get a PoS WC nomination.
