JonH comes home · Tennis legend

1 Hannah Klugman - for winning the J300 in Croatia on Clay! followed it up by being RU in the U18 Nationals Girls Singles

2. North-West England Juniors - there have been three 'new' players at the 16U nationals who have really caught my eye and impressed - Aran Selvaraasan, April Sackflame and Annabel Wong - Aran in the final, April only 2012-born and Annabel who really tested Meg. AND - from what I can see - Aran is in Manchester, April is Bolton, and Annabel is Bramhall Lane, Stockport. So a tight little group. Huge well done to junior tennis up in the Manchester - great dynamic up there !!!!

3. Aran Selvaraasan - aged 14, coming through qualies, he won the 16U Nationals title. Fantastic, breakthrough performance

4. Megan Knight - aged 14, showed her talent by taking the 16U national title, now has the chance to build on it in the 18U event; also, won the doubles title, convincingly, for a well deserved double title week. Followed all of that by taking the J200 title in Aldershot for her first title at that level and entry into the JWR top 200 as a result, and will become the top ranked 2011 born girl in the world rankings on Monday

5. Hermione Korpanec Davies - age 13 - won the singles title in J30 Ghana, beating the second seed. Only born on 25 Oct. 2011 - so only 13 1/2 - one of the youngest ever winners, in GB, and in the world

6. Julian Cash/Lloyd Glasspool - for reaching the Monte Carlo Masters final, beating world number ones Arevalo and Pavic in the semis, their second M1000 final as a pair, and second straight Masters final.

7. Team GB - for making the finals in the BJK Cup

8. Sonay Kartal - for winning both her singles in her first matches played in the BJK Cup

9. Sofia Tatu (age 13) - our new champion dirt-baller ! For winning the U14 Super Category, Portugal - her age group equivalent of W1000s. And in a really gutsy match too.

10. Hollie Smart (age 15) - for winning the under 16 and 18 LTA National Doubles titles in back to back weeks

11. Mika Stojsavljevic - for winning the 18 and under girls Nationals

12. Oli Bonding - for winning the 18 and under boys Nationals

13. Luke Johnson - for winning his first ATP 500 title in Barcelona (with Sander Arends) and reaching a new career high of 40.

14. Charlie Robertson - playing clutch tennis in the run to the end of the season after a difficult start to his college career. Won his match in the regular season title decider against NC State that was the winning point to clinch the title for Wake Forest. And was the only one of his side to win a first set in the ACC Championships semi-final. Winning his last 8 completed singles matches and is 13-1 in doubles, he has won the Atlantic Coast Conference (regarded as the strongest men's conference this year) Freshman of the week twice this month. Ranked ITA 125 in singles and 6 (with DK Suresh) and 25 (with Dostanic) in doubles. Also voted to the ACC All-Conference 1st Team for doubles.

15. Alicia Dudeney - for a very strong end to her college career (probably the end), finishing on an 11 match win streak in singles, which is no mean feat in the loaded women's Southeastern conference. She did this in the context of Florida women's programme having their most difficult season ever with multiple injuries and a short roster. When the rest of her team were struggling she led by example being relied upon to win her matches. Ranked 53 in singles (after being outside the top 125 at the beginning of March) and 13 and 22 in doubles she has been voted to receive SEC All-Conference 1st Team honours.

updated Megan again to reflect Indys confirmation she will be top 2011 born player in the next rankings
