I thought it might be a quiet week but some big performances coming through this week in Glasgow and in Milan as well.

I thought about nominating our Billie Jean King Cup team but I reckon that would just confuse things?

Lissey & Liv nomination coming though in just a minute or two.

Thanks Indy - lets see where the team gets to , if they win the thing there may well be a case for a team nomination as well?

But as an aside , we did have a team nomination once when this first started and the girls team won the under 12 tennis Europe event, I think CD nominated them at the time. They didnt win PoM but did get nominated

I believe BJK GB girls team for their fabulous victory over Spain. Clearly all working well as one United team with Anne K doing a fab job and finally the first time since 1981 our girls have reached the semi finals stage. Proud moment for GB women's tennis and who knows, the event is not yet over. They deserve to be in the line up.

You can nominate them Rich ! Just copy the current list above , add their name as a team and a bit of supporting narrative and paste a new list !

Go for it. My concern at the mement would be a split vote with Lissey & Liv in there too in the one round winner voting system

But depending on how things transpire from now the way to go may become clearer .

Depending on the nomination list make up, and numbers, I can decide at my own discretion to introduce semifinal groups to at least solve the initial clash where a player might be conflicted in terms of votes - although it still wouldnt solve a clash in the final if both got through .

But lets see where we get too over the next couple of weeks.

As an aside , when it comes to player of the season, a team could be in that if they qualify through the PoM votes or through the wild card vote. Although over a whole season, its going to be full of pretty good competition this year!
