The lad has come a long way since Pizza Express and Patisserie Valerie!

By the way , what has happened with Patisserie Valerie and the possible fraud around their collapse?

Emma more than justified her place, still think Jay has done.

I nominate Luke for getting to his first singles final.

He's had a good month. First singles final and his 15th Doublea title.!!

so 6 currently, maybe someone will join this week? Either way, a small but nicely formed and interesting group!

As JonH has sadly retired from the predictions polls for the grand slams, I have posted them up as normal, if you want to go and vote at some point!

As commented elsewhere, Im definitely keeping these going until year end this year and the player of the season poll in mid December. I believe Indy has volunteered for beyond that, which is great but most importantly is that its good to see these and some other polls have new custodians !

It feels like it is now all eyes on the US Open Qualies to see if anyone else breaks onto our list - 2 are on the list above already and building their record, 5 others could force their way on. With all our players falling at ATP, WTA Tour events, hard to see anyone else coming on now, unless Ryan, one of the Juniors maybe has a standout week??

A reminder that the Wheelchair Paralympic events start on 27th August but will count towards next months PoM as the event finishes well past the Sunday deadline...

Nomination for Ryan P for making his first challenger final. Quite a medical back story as a youngster been told in the Prague Challenger thread as well.

yeah, he might just have got my vote already smile

SuperT · Futures level

I'm surprised no-one's nominated Katie B yet so I will. Winning through qualifying is definitely worth one in my opinion.

I was just coming to check this myself so I second this nomination, especially as it's the first time she has come through GS quals, I think?

3rd Katie B, got to be honest and say the way she came through that last match, I'm going to struggle to see past her for the fight she showed. The standard of tennis was not great but she did book end the match with some quality.

Going to be interesting !
