Thanks as always Jon !

Some superb months from the ladies ( 39 voted to 0, which I assume is unprecedented ) with 2 extremely well deserved additions to the PoS finalists list.

Clearly it could really have gone either way between Sonay and Harriet, judging by many of the comnents as to how tight it was in folks' minds as to where their vote finally went. And that run of votes for Hannah sure put the cat among the pigeons. Great month from her too.

Now c'mon lads, let's be seeing you too up there in November.

 I think November has a good chance to be more dominated by the men - we have the end of Paris to come for Henry and Neal, both are also in the Tour Finals in Turin, and we have the DC team where those two are joined by Arthur and Cam and one other, perhaps. Ditto, we have only men in the wheelchair tour finals, Alfie, Gordon, Andy and Greg.

Whereas the top women are largely done now. 

Which means a lot of opps for ITF level players and mens challenger players to come and grab some headlines, but at the very top, it is really men only this month. The college players also have their NCAA's coming to a close in November, so someone may come through that route, male or female. 

December - no idea what will happen then, it will be ITF's and juniors (it is the Orange Bowl) but December always feels like a month for someone left field to come through!

 Katie Swan has the potential to have a standout month depending on how many of the big November ITFs she plays, a W100 and 3 W75s and (touch wood) she's fit and healthy
