With just two ATP and WTA events this month, feels like a month for our challenger and ITF players to possibly show their prowess away from the main stage !
nominations close for March at the end of Miami, Sunday 29th May
Anyone can nominate. Its your board, folks, and your community. Give it a go.
Nomination and reason:
1.Sonay Kartal. Im nominating her at this early stage for her courageous second round win over injury, home crowd and #20 seed Emma Navarro. After dominating the first set completely her back was having issues from the early part of a tight second set during which time she had a full time out. After she lost that set not many gave her any chance of progressing especially when Navarro twice served for the match. But Sonay kept battling and prevailed in the end in a 3rd set tiebreak. Apologies if Im going overboard because of 1 match but it was a remarkable fighting performance!

2. Toby Samuel - follows up his Portugal M25 title the previous week ( yes, last month ) by starting this month with a Challenger 50 title in Crete, dropping just one set along the way and emphatically beating Harry W in the final. Takes him into the live top 200 and GB top 10.
