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).

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; he followed up by beating 4th seeded German (Laudan) to move into the final against compatriot, Greg Slade.

8. Arthur Fery - for winning the M25 title at Roehampton, his first title since 2023 and doing it unseeded and without losing a set.

9. Greg Slade - Greg, seeded 3, won the Bolton Wheelchair Indoor Series 3 event singles and doubles titles to cap a very good week for him. He then followed up by winning the Series 2 event, also in Bolton, unseeded, where he beat the top 2 seeds and both top ten players on the way to the title. What a two weeks for Greg, maybe the second week is a career high and a breakthrough to make him a name - expect to see him at Wimbledon in the summer!

10. Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool - for winning the ATP500 title in Doha. This is their second ATP500 title together (and Lloyds third at this level). It cements their position as number 3 in the ATP race and moves Julian to a new career high inside the top 20

11. Oliver Bonding - for winning his first M15 title - he beat 5 players all ranked above him, 3 top 1000 incl Ben Jones and Emile Hudd and all in straight sets. As a result, his ranking will halve and more as he heads into the 900's as a result

12. Daniela Piani - won back-to-back J200 doubles titles in Santo Domingo with different partners, her 2 highest junior titles to date.
