This months nominations period ends Sunday 1st March, making it a 4 week period:
Players name and a reason for the nomination below please, just add to the latest version of the list
Nominations:
1 Katie Boulter - for winning Ostrava 250. Katies form was not the best in 2025 and early 2026 ( understatement) . It saw her fall out of the top 100 . But this was a great way to take those steps back to recover it. A couple of 3 set battles against Havlickova and Korpatsch. Convincing wins over Fruhrvitova, , no 5 seeded Golubic and Volynets. Now comfortably back inside top 100.

2 Hephzibah Oluwadare - for her singles contribution towards Ohio State making the National Team Indoor Championships final - OSU women's team first ever nationals final. Her wins in the championships included a defeat of last season's No 23 while under immense pressure for the winning team point which resulted in the tournament's biggest upset of Ohio State knocking out the pre-tournament favourites UNC in the QF, reportedly saying it's the hardest thing she has ever done. Her performance earned her the Big Ten Freshman of the week award.

4. Annabel Wong (born 2010) - Miss 'I-never-lose-a-final'

- has just done the double, winning singles and doubles at the J60 in Denmark. Annabel has a very handy knack of winning titles, this is her 4th singles and 2nd doubles title. It's also her 3rd singles title on the trot. She's never lost a final (that I can see)
