Nah, thought what the heck! You may have noticed I copied your Katie narrative , with a little embellishment and minor changes !

Sounds great stuff by Amelia. Thanks Danny for bringing it to the attention of those of us who don't particularly follow college tennis.

That will make 20 nominations in total. One more needed to cause Jon a little extra work 

1 - Jodie Burrage for reaching the quarter finals of the WTA500 in Linz from qualifying, including getting through some tough moments with composure.

2 - Felix Gill for reaching the semi final of an ATP Challenger 75 - on clay - beating 2 seeds & other higher ranked players on the way

3 - Lily Miyazaki for winning the tournament at Andrezieux-Boutheon; some great wins, including beating the top seed in the SF.

4 - Heather Watson for a timely reminder that she can still mix it with the top players. At the Abu Dhabi WTA 500, she reached the final in the doubles (with Linda Noskova), resulting in her rocketing up the doubles rankings. In singles at the same event, she came through qualifying and then won her first round match against the world number 16. She followed this up in the week after by reaching the final of the singles at the Roehampton W50, which will take her singles ranking up to around 125.

5 - Harriet Dart for coming through qualifying and making the semi-final of a 250K event for the first time, beating WR 56 on the way. Also for making the final in doubles.

6 - Mark Ceban - age 14 - won the single title at the J60 Tunisia. This will boost him to about JWR 350, and take him to third best player in the world for his age

7 - Great Britain 12U girls team crowned Tennis Europe Winter Cup champions

8 - Charlie Robertson - for getting his first ever rankings points and for doing it in style in the Glasgow Challenger, coming through qualies and then taking out a Top 500 player in the 1st Round MD. Charlie enters the rankings at number 1141.

9. Emile Hudd - won the ITF doubles event in Egypt with David Stevenson, reaching the singles QF stage as well; followed up with a SF singles and final of the doubles (with David) in week commencing 12th Feb, to make a really strong month

10. Paul Jubb for coming through qualifying and making the final of the Challenger 50 event in Glasgow. This is the first Challenger final he has reached since returning from injury last summer.

11. Julian Cash for winning the doubles at the ATP250 in Delray Beach with Robert Galloway, defeating the much higher ranked number 1 seeds in the final. This is Julian's first title at this level and will give him a new career high.

12. Hephzibah Oluwadare (born 31 Oct 2007) for achieving her first WTA singles ranking (1189) after picking up a point at the Roehampton W50. This follows on from winning a J200 in Germany earlier in the month.

13. Greg Slade - Britain's #2 ranked Quad wheelchair player, unseeded he won the Bolton Indoor ITF Series 3 event, beating World ranked #10, top seeded Brazilian, Silva, in the final. Also won the doubles title, again Unseeded. Followed up with the doubles title in the ITF Series 2 event the following week, also in Bolton. Good to shout at a British player that isn't one of the more well known names of wheelchair tennis

14. Henry Searle - for reaching his first Challenger level QF and beating WR 286 player Jiri Vesely. Also finished runner up in the doubles with Kyle Edmund as WCs.

15. Marnie Banks - for winning her first senior tournament at a W35 in Australia. She is also set to hit a new CH around 280 on Monday week.

16. Edie Griffiths - age 14 - for winning the J60 in Norway - her first singles final, her first singles title - and a very good one, given her age.

17. Katie Boulter - for her performances at WTA 500 San Diego, including beating Haddad Maia WR 13. And for reaching a further CH.

18. Flora Johnson (age 16) - for winning the J100 in South Africa (and being runner-up in doubles). Her first singles title for three years

19. Jack Draper - for his performances at ATP 500 Acapulco, reaching the semis at time of posting, including beating Tommy Paul WR 14. And for reaching a further CH (live 37 at time of posting).

20. Amelia Rajecki who has taken the number 1 spot at NC State in style, undefeated at national indoor championships where she was selected at position 1 in all tournament team , also beating former national number 1 Fiona Crawley. Rising to number 3 in division 1 national college rankings .

 Fingers crossed for Liv x 2 tomorrow - could well be no 21 if they win their semi-final.

If Katie reaches the final tonight, I presume the final will be late in our night Sunday? In which case Ill post the vote Monday morning - if it is two rounds Ill work out the schedule in due course.

If she loses her semi, things are simpler timing wise - I hope she wins, though! In that case, the vote will go up tomorrow night. The first round vote will be 24 hours and we will have to see re the final. If its a straight final, ie no more nominations come on, then we will go for 48 hours with this many players in the vote!
