British Tennis Forum Player of the Month Vote - January 2026

I am thinking Neal will win this OK anyway, and I do look to singles more than doubles.

Great to see Anna's further successes and all the best to her.

On balance, I vote for Arthur.

For me, the achievements of Hannah in becoming world number one and Anna in winning the AO title for her category of tennis deserve accolade. Although I nominated her, Hannah really achieved what she did over a year and January itself wasnt so strong. Although Im very tempted to vote for Anna, it is with regrets that I am going to vote for Neal.

What an achievement - only his second grand slam mens doubles title and back to world number one, and the first time outright on his own! Neal gets my vote

FWIW, Neal did have one week as sole WR 1 in 2023, as well as over 20 weeks as joint #1 with Wesley Koolhof.

anna pulls clear. Those who thought Neal was comfortable in top spot and voted elsewhere, may find that choice is under pressure a little.

I voted for Neal. Such a wonderful achievement, the pinnacle of his career.
Enjoying the jostling for second place but I'm making sure Neal finishes in first!

All tied for second still with 4 hours left. Top 2 and ties qualify for Player of the Season which is a long way off from now!!
