JonH I am in a conundrum! I see Mimi isnt amongst the end of season finalists. Is this where I would nominate her?. I would want to hold off a little to see how she gets on in her final tournaments of the year, notwithstanding that she may get a nomination for December.Thanks.

 Absolutely. She hasnt qualified yet, Im afraid, she may do through December Pom vote but that takes place after this process closes. My recommendation is you post it here as a wildcard nomination and that way she is on the list; we can always update the narrative later. if she qualifies through December Pom , we just take her out of this. And all is good. 

my recommendation is you add her to the list with a reason and put to be updated against it in the narrative! 

I was seeing Mimi as an obvious missing candidate and was planning to nominate her if no one else got there first! (I just needed to check her achievements to put together a narrative and hadn't had time to do that yet. smile )

 I will be happy to add Tanaqui when you post.Mimi has had an impressive rise in the rankings this year. 440 to around 250, getting towards the tougher end of the rankings table. Also won two titles but also has been reaching the business end of tournaments. A lot to shout about really, steady progress, working hard and building a strong foundation.

Good stuff - so long as someone goes for it, we should all be happy! There is no limit to the size of the nominees list or the number anyone person can put forward, so don't feel constrained. I wish there was a better way to capture and record these, sadly I don't think there is. But we will make this work.

I have one more lined up for tomorrow, and then most of the days through the 17th, so even if not many come from other directions, we should have a reasonable list come the end of the month!

Have nominated Mimi but Var and anyone else is very welcome to improve on (correct?) what I've written!

 

Player  of the Season Wildcard nomination and reason:


1. Savannah Dada-Mascoll - An unexpected history making breakout year. Highest singles ranking in Appalachian State history at No 5. First App State player to qualifier for NCAAs, All-American and NCAA quarter-finalist. Carolina region co-champion. Full narrative in post 3

2. Ben Jones - has won the most titles of any player this season with 9 at the time of writing. All of those are doubles titles, 5 at M25 level and with 7 different partners. Plaudits for being our player with the most titles!

3. Mimi Xu - in her final year as a junior, reached the semi-finals of junior Wimbledon while mostly concentrating on making a successful transition to senior tennis. She won the best title of her senior career at the W100 in Wrexham and has raised her ranking from around WR500 at the start of the year to around WR250.

4.
