Here we go - 28 players in 4 groups of 7, all containing 3 or 4 men and women each and one team.
I havent tried to summarise the players seasons - several players cross genres and I dont what to create any bias. You need to do your own research and decide who to vote for.
From each group, the top 3 plus any ties for a qualifying place get through to the semis.
This vote will close at 8.54am Monday morning, 5th January. Enjoy!
When you vote, please tell us who for any why, it will create more interest.

A really hard group and many here caught the eye - Toby, Mika. But Lloyd and Julian took the title as worlds top pair and players and won Wimbledon. Hard to top that really and they get my vote.
The semis groups make up will depend on finishing positions in these rounds ie seeded by finishing position. So finishing first should, in theory, give an advantage in the next round of sorts.
From WR 676 at the end of 2024, she ended 2025 as singles WR 294 and GB # 11. She won a Birmingjsm W35 title but really shone in 2 W100s ( RU in Wrexham and SF in Dubai ). Ended #6 world U18 but having just turned 17 there are no players younger than her ranked higher. Rose to WR 460 in doubles, winning a Minastir W35 title. In juniors she reached the SF of the US Open.
Super year in doubles of course for Julian & Lloyd although I prefer other pairs.
Very tempted here by Mika for her season at such an early stage in her career but in the end Emily W-S gets my vote for sheer dogged determination for such little reward.
