British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

1. Cam Norrie - maybe Cam should have won this title, but he came in seeded 7, won round after round from behind and almost took the title in Metz. We have only had two ATP singles finalists all year, Jack in IW and now this and it is Cams only final of the season. We should celebrate that and the fact he has come back from nearly out of the top 100 to a likely Aussie Open seeding.

2. Liam Broady - qualified for and then proceeds to reach the final in the Lyon Challenger, beating Hanfmann, seeded 7 and ranked just outside the top 100, on the way. His first challenger final in over 2 years and this result lifts him from 390 to just outside the top 300, a rise of over 80 places. Welcome back, Liam.

3. Katie Swan - Unseeded, Katie wins the W50 in Brisbane to add to her other titles this year, beating the no.2, 3, 5 and 6 seeds on the way, including highly rated junior Emerson Jones. Re enters the top 300 as a result.

4. Henry Patten- Fantastic to see a 75% all British ATP Tour Finals final, and fantastic to see 5 British players in the final top 10 doubles rankings (or in 3 of the top 5 pairs ) .Henry and his partner Heliovaara took the title and Henry deserves nomination for 3 aces in the final game serving out the match alone !

5. Alicia Dudeney - winning the W50 doubles title in Trnava (with Elena Malygina). Her fifth and largest title of the year, taking her to WR308 on 250 points. Still building on her singles ranking where she has broken into the top 500 at WR488. Reached the SF in the W35 in Monastir to add further points and a rise to a new CH of around WR453 when the points go on

6. Josh Paris/Marcus Willis - won the CH100 Challenger title in Bergamo. For Josh, it is his biggest title to date and for both of them it takes them to new career highs- Marcus to the top 80 and Josh into the top 100 for the first time. A great way to end their season and a great platform for 2026.

7. Toby Samuel - winning his first Challenger title, in Soma Bay, Egypt, following up a smaller M15 title earlier in November. Dropped one set all week and will rise over 100 places to a new career high around 329 with this title. Backed it up with a second challenger title, in Bahrain, which will take his ranking to circa 267, what an amazing end to the season and what a month!

8. Felix Gill - winning 2 successive Turkey titles, M15 then M25, moving from.WR 493 at the start of the month to around 385 at month end (live rankings)

9. Lui Maxted - doing the M25 double (singles and doubles) at the ITF event in Austin, losing just one singles set seeded 5th. Enters into the top 500 at month end as a result

10. Avon Ladies Winter County Cup team - at the weekend they won the national title, division 1. A real team effort after two consecutive promotions in previous seasons. They beat Yorkshire, Kent and Hertfordshire to win it for the first time ever. And with the plans to end this competition they might hold it for ever now...A different sort of nomination but I think worth recognition as most years the usual suspects win....Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Herts etc.

11. Julian Cash/ Lloyd Glasspool - for being crowned Doubles No 1 pair for 2025 season

12. Jay Clarke - won his second challenger of the season, in Islamabad, having been runner up in Soma Bay Challenger earlier this month. His 93rd match of a long season, he should rise to 170-175 with this win, and to GB number 6 or 7, depending on later results.

13. Ophelia Korpanec Davies - age 16 won both singles and doubles at the J100 in Peru
