British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

Nominations list:

1. Cameron Norrie- So good to see Cam back in the big time.Its great to see him în R16 for the first time în his career and his win over Medvedev was nothing less than epic, followed by a comprehensive dismantling of Jake in the third round. Worthy of nomination whatever happens now !

2. Hannah Klugman - reached the French Open girls singles final (final to come) for her first grand slam singles final. Showing Brits can play on clay, it will also take her back into the top 3 or 4 girls in the JWR and top Brit on that list as well. The first British junior finalist in nearly 50 years, since Michelle Tyler in 1976.   

3. Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski - Reaching the French Open doubles final, the first time either of them has got beyond the last 8 and, for both of them, their first Grand Slam final since 2023. Their first Grand Slam final as a pair. The first British pair in a French final since 1936.    

4. Alfie Hewett - reaching the final of the French Open men's wheelchair singles - Alfie has won the French 3 times in the past but not since 2021. He won the AO earlier this year and is clearly showing himself as part of a Big two in mens wheelchair tennis.  

5. Alfie Hewett/ Gordon Reid - winning their 6th straight French doubles title, Gordons 8th title overall as they show themselves to probably be the best doubles pair of all time?! 

6. Sonay Kartal - for a new CH in the top 50, thanks to winning a round at the French Open.

7. Jake Fearnley - for a new CH inside the top 50, thanks to winning two rounds at the French Open.

 

Hoping there will be much more for both of them over the next few weeks, but thought it was worth celebrating two top 50 debuts!

 

8. Tara Moore for winning the ladies' doubles at the W75 in Sumter, USA (albeit with help from Abigail Rencheli): her first title since her suspension was lifted.

Around halfway in the month (over halfway in the 5 week period in fact) and we have a good list of nominations.

As the grass hots up, if you feel someone deserves a nomination, please add them to the list above in the usual way. If you arent sure how, just shout and someone will help!

A number of players pushing into finals already this morning and a few doubles finals to come or in progress.

If youre inspired to add to our list of June nominations, dont be shy.

His first challenger final and will see him rise to around 282 and a new CH. Recently graduated from TCU - will he follow Cam and Jake into the top 50 in due course?

I think Ive done most of these nominations. Just to say, ANYONE can nominate at any time. It isnt a select process! The more nominators, the better!

 Ha, we will usually get there in time for most categories. For instance, I am sure someone else would have nominated JPJ. Whatever, you did and he's nominated so all's good.
