I had the intention of nominating my US college player of the month at the end of each month, but unless one of the men do something special at this weekend's men's championships I don't think anyone is going to better Isabelle's worthiness for a nomination for her performance this weekend. Sorry for the long narrative again. It's difficult to get everything I want to say in succintly.

1. Emily Webley-Smith for winning the W35 in Switzerland - her 27th doubles title at the age of 40. Still enjoying the tour and competing fiercely despite living almost hand to mouth on the meagre prizemoney available.

2. Luke Hooper (age 19) - his first ATP point (aka Bob's theory that everyone getting their first point deserves a nomination - and I enjoyed one of Luke's matches last year too, so that will do) )

3. U12 Boys Winter Cup team - Kai Hodkinson, Cameron Rae & Tomas Gabor - won the title !!!! First GB win since 2012 (with Draper, Fearnley and Loffhagen)

4. Isabelle Lacy - at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships Isa had her college breakout performance impressing when stepping up to stand in 2 places higher up the singles order for the weekend's 3 matches, winning 2 and, in the 3rd match, being a set and break up when the 3rd tie was finished, getting Virgina's only set, when all her teammates were losing heavily. The weekend included an impressive first win against a ranked opponent (and top 20 and L16 NCAA finalist at that).

 Its Friday ! And its Vakentines Day and all is good with the world- I hope!

I see Francesca Jones will reach a new CH after her results in Cancun so I think that merits a place in the vote. I have no idea how to edit it into the list, sorry to impose on those more expert than I.

 Good stuff and I see CD has done the honours!

Good stuff re the Fran and Ben additions. I edited Ben's narrative in that he 'just' made the QFs in the singles rather than the SFs.

5. Francesca Jones - for reaching a new CH, having a great week reaching the SFs in the WTA in Cancun, and for generally being an inspiration to all

6. Ben Jones - for winning the M25 doubles title at Roehampton, and making the QFs in the singles (and for having to put up with Greg's cheerleading from the stands? Just joking - well, sort of )

7. Oliver Cox - aged 18 and world ranked 35, beat top seeded, former world number one and legend of the game, David Wagner (WR11) in the last 8 at the Bolton Indoor series 3 wheelchair quad singles.

Naiktha sadly lost her final overnight, but Billy and Hamish go today. Good luck to them.
