Favourite British Tennis Player - Round One - Group H


Ok, 5th year of our Favourite British Tennis Player vote. Started in 2020 and been able to run it most years since!

64 players, 48 singles and 16 doubles, 32 men and women each. Divided into 8 groups of 8. 

Top 3 from each group plus ties go through to the semis

24 + players in the semis, into 3 groups of 8. Top 2 plus ties then progress to the final of 6 + players, from which the Board favourite player in 2025 will be crowned

Reigning champ is Heather Watson

Winners in the past are:

2020 - Dan Evans

2021 - not held

2022 - Andy Murray

2023 - Andy Murray

2024 - Heather Watson

VOTE WILL CLOSE WEDNESDAY EVENING AT 9PM - IF YOU VOTE PLEASE DO SAY WHO AND WHY AND TRY AND PERSUADE OTHERS TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE - THIS IS A NO HOLDS BARRED COMPETITION AND I WILL PROVIDE REGULAR UPDATES. TACTICAL VOTING IS VERY MUCH ALLOWED!   

Each group has 4 men and 4 women, no seeding, no trying to align players based on any perception of favouritism! Totally random apart from 4 men and 4 women!, and each group has 3 singles men/women and 1 doubles man/woman

Im torn between a Jubb and a Hudd - I have followed Emile has he has slowly worked like heck up the rankings, but watched Paul on the Beyond the Baseline series and he gets my support here!

Semi 2 - A2, B3, C1, D2, E3, F1, G2, H3

Semi 3- A3, B1, C2, D3, E1, F2, G3, H1

Work it out and if you think it impacts your vote, use this info as you will!

Thanks Tanaqui, good to see where people are placing their votes/have their favourites. I was sad to see all mine seem to be men, which is bad of me for not really following womens tennis as much! Memo to self for 2025!

Ms Boulter, because Mr Edmund hasn't actually played in my recent memory.

 It's not 'bad', Jon. It's who you prefer to watch most and have become your favourites. But hey yes maybe give women's tennis more of a go this year. There are currently more women than men that spark my interest and I have certainly voted for more women than men in R1. Don't worry, our female contingent won't lack votes

 haha, you are right, for sure. Earlier I worked out if all the qualifiers for rd 2 stayed the same, we would be at roughly 16-8 women to men going through. Which sort of aligns to the points you made in the recent PoM vote around a slight push towards the women players on this board, probably linked to some of that success. 

But it is what it is, and down to the men to drive more interest, I say!

 Also, you spend a lot of time following (and promoting) para tennis (wheelchair and PWII) which almost no one else pays much attention to! I think you can be forgiven for not having the time to get deeply into the women's game.
