Yes, hopefully there will be a few additions. But tbf I would imagine folk are letting the weeks play out.

So give that a chance and then I imagine folk will add other names in their own good time..

Im sure youre right - however, I do think there are a few of us who focus more on doing the nominations etc and I do like to encourage others who may not have it in their sights in quite the same way!

Sorry I've not been around much! I had a stupidly busy August at work and was actually using the August nominations thread to keep on top of what I should be paying attention to

Hope to be following the board more closely and making more nominations again soon. (Also, Jake's been horribly out of form recently, and he was one of my regular nominations for about a year!)

Adding Fran,

Nominations List:

1. Cam Norrie - 4th round Roland Garros, quarter final Wimbledon and now 3rd round New York, again the last British man standing. Match of the tournament just now against Comesana, before taking Novak to 4 sets in round 3. Ive nominated Cam 3 times after each of those slams. Hopefully he gets more votes this time !

2. Hamish Stewart - 2 weeks in a row qualifying for and reaching R2 of ATP Challenger 75s ( Manacor and Cassis ), in the first beating the top seed Otto Virtanen WR 123 in straight sets for a best ever rankings scalp. Takes out his CH 442, being now live ranked 413.

3. Ruben Harris - won the US Open junior wheelchair doubles title with his Austrian partner, Max Taucher, for our only piece of silverware in the wheelchair tennis in New York. The junior events are only held here and in Paris, so a rare chance to win a big title. Ruben is playing senior events now and looks to be one to watch for the future.

4. Max Basing - for doing the double - winning singles and doubles titles at the M25 in Bali after winning the M15 singles in Thailand the previous week, cumulatively taking him up to about WR 450.

5. Joe Salisbury/Neal Skupski - for reaching their second grand slam doubles final of the year and coming so close to glory at the US Open. Great start to their pairing and lets hope they get over the line soon, and get the title they deserve.

6. Billy Harris - it may not have been the hardest set of opponents and it may have been a CH 75, but Billy had never won a title at Challenger level until now. In fact, he was the highest ranked player without a challenger title. But not anymore - Billy wins the Cassis Challenger, his first at this level and his ranking back to around 136 as a result. Nice one, Billy!

7. Francesca Jones - WTA 250 Sao Paolo SF should take her to a big new CH 73 ( up to GB #2 ) and to #60 for points won this year so far.

Thanks Indy - and Fran goes equal top of the years nominations list with Julian and Lloyd, all on 6.

A title to start it off for Katie and maybe an upgrade for Max?!

Added a third title in 3 weeks in singles with another M25 win in Bali, stretching his unbeaten run to 14 matches. A very profitable run of events for Max and I see from the schedules he plans to play the Aussie ITF stretch next as he continues to progress.

5. Joe Salisbury/Neal Skupski - for reaching their second grand slam doubles final of the year and coming so close to glory at the US Open. Great start to their pairing and lets hope they get over the line soon, and get the title they deserve.

a little update for Max.

8. Katie Swan for winning the W35 in Wagga Wagga. This may not be the level of tennis any of us think she is capable of, but the fact she has played and won 5 successive matches and is seemingly fit and healthy is cause for celebration.

A significant boost to Alicia's ranking, taking her from WR692 to around WR565 and from 52 points to 82 points. And she's entered for the W35's in the next two weeks.
