assuming no one else is nominated, then we have got 49 players left this season with a chance of player of the season!

24 have qualified already.

25 players will vie for 4 places left in player of the season vote:

3 are in the PoS wildcard vote AND December PoM vote
15 others are in the PoS wildcard vote only
7 others are in the December PoM vote only

Thats 24 plus 25 = 49 players in with a chance, however slim it may be!

14 women and 12 men so far. Groups all formed and just two wildcards to place. The PoS votes will start Saturday
4th January!

I hope folks got something out of the 2024 player of the month votes; we will have got a record number of votes this year, although Ive not done the maths. 4 years weve done them.

Although I love doing them and will continue, holidays and work some sometimes make month ends etc a little stressy, so always happy if someone wants to put their hand up to help out one month if I see a log jam arising.

Thank you - player of the season starts tomorrow!

Thanks again, Jon

Now you relax, take it easy and enjoy your break for the rest of the day before the WC vote starts things off tomorrow. You seem to have everything in place for the coming period.

Whatever happens, the wildcards will be determined tonight, by midnight!

We will then have the 28 player field and the polls will go up for the first round (4 of 7) tomorrow evening at some point.

The wildcard play off vote has picked up some what from the initial main wildcard vote, Im hoping new year malaise and hols are no longer a thing and it means we will be in for a cracking player of the season vote week!

The 28 players are split into 4 groups of 7; the groups each comprise 3 or 4 men and 3 or 4 women (3 groups will be 3 M/4W, 1 group 4M/3W). Round one is also sort of seeded based on winning PoM titles etc and also Ive largely kept the singles, doubles, wheelchair, juniors and ATP/WTA/ITF players nicely spread across the groups. some wont like the odd mix of players but I cant please everyone and, tbh, it doesnt matter - ultimately its about choosing the one single player of the year.

The first round lasts Sat to Mon, 48 hours; top 3 plus ties get through

The semis are 2 groups of 6, plus any ties who get through from round one. Runs Tuesday to Thurs.

FINAL is Fri to Sun and is top 2 from each semi, plus any ties who get through.

Semi groups will be assigned from round one and will be Semi 1 - A1, D1, B2, C2, A3, D3 and Semi 2 - B1, C1, A2, D2, B3, C3 - regardless of gender or singles/doubles background etc, just the way the round one groups fall.

Enjoy!

Average votes each CALENDAR YEAR in PoM votes:

2020 - 24.7

2021 - 29.3

2022 - 36.5

2023 - 39.0

2024 - 44.7

Nov and Dec fell a little below the 2024 average but overall it was another big increase. 10% plus on 2023. It is only baby steps, but nice to see.

In PoS finals, the votes have been:

2020 - 33

2021 - 40

2022 - 46

2023 - 54

Big increases year on year in PoS. The PoS vote typically beats the PoM vote by something like 25-35%. If we can get that with this years PoS, we are looking at maybe approaching the 60 barrier. The highest ever vote is 59 in April 2024 PoM, and 58 later in the 2024 year; beating 60 would be fantastic.

Fingers crossed!
