Same as many other people - difficult choice this month, but I've gone for Katie for her determination through so many setbacks - gradually leading to success - Bravo!

Good stuff and I know several people hope she also get's through into Player of the Season, through this or the wildcard votes.

17 votes now. Detailed updates later

I only really follow the women so it was a choice between Katie S and Alicia D. I am sure Alicia will get her chances in future so I have gone for Katie.

Well, no worries - I think there are a few like you who largely follow one side or the other!

Alicia is also already into the player of the season field, so maybe needed the vote less?!

PS - there was always the Avon Womens Team as an option!

Johnny Aitch · Intermediate Club Player

Toby for me this time.

Thanks Johnny! Good call!

Tanaqui · County player

I was wavering between Henry and Alicia and then Toby zoomed past them with that second challenger title, so Toby for me this time,

(P.S. A suggestion to those nominating: it would really help underscore a player's achievements and be more persuasive if you could include the level of the tournament(s)! smile )

Thanks Tanaqui! And agreed ( is that me?) although it looks like all nominations have the level clearly shown to me?

Also - can you ans Johnny check your vote took? Im expecting 20 but only see 19 and Toby is down one it looks like? Thanks !

I'm sticking with my nomination of Alicia, although I could easily have chosen any one of several more.

Re the tournament levels - Challenger levels are missing, but the ITF's are generally there.

I'm showing as voted!

And I can see Toby won two challengers but I don't know what level of challengers. (OK, with the tournament names/locations, I can poke about and see it's two CH50s rather than, say, a CH50 and a CH75. I was just ~~busy~~ lazy and haven't been checking those threads for the past month. biggrin )

And Ophelia K-D about whom I am as ignorant as I am about the Avon ladies.

Yes, challenger 50s say can be expected to be lower level fields, and indeed usually are, and often well below the highest level challengers.

For this particular month, personally I'd been taking account of the level but, such was the way Toby has come through these past 2 weeks, I had no doubt about my own vote.

Got it - it felt like it was Johnny's that hadn't actually "caught", not sure if he is able to check. Either way, no problem!

Re challengers and your's and TA's and Indy's comments - yes, understood. It was largely me - I sort of in my head assumed people would be in the know, so I was being lazy as well!! Haha.

But yes, for the future, I will add in the extra detail!!

Cheers!

As it stands, we have 20 votes in officially, won't do any manual adjustments until advised that it is needed - and it probably isn't!!

20 votes is a decent start so far, par for the course - November actually is a month where we have always got just over 40 votes, quite a consistent month. I would be surprised if we get 40 this time though, as , well, we don't these days!! But let's see where it lands!
