2021 - not held
2022 - Andy Murray
2023 - Andy Murray
2024 - Heather Watson

VOTE WILL CLOSE WEDNESDAY EVENING AT 8.33PM - IF YOU VOTE PLEASE DO SAY WHO AND WHY AND TRY AND PERSUADE OTHERS TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE - THIS IS A NO HOLDS BARRED COMPETITION AND I WILL PROVIDE REGULAR UPDATES. TACTICAL VOTING IS VERY MUCH ALLOWED!
Each group has 4 men and 4 women, and each group has 3 singles men/women and 1 doubles man/woman. I have allocated by going across and down the rankings lists as of today. Anyone not here wasn't ranked highly enough, I am afraid.
Was torm between Dan and Joe but decided to go for Joe as I feel Dan will get a lot of support and I'm feeling a bit bad about neglecting the doubles players....
This group has the lowest number of votes on 23. Last season we hit the heady heights of around 39 in the opening round of votes so hopefully a few more to come over the course of today. Don't forget to vote before 8.30pm if you can, the vote closes just after.
Semifinals votes will be posted shortly after that this evening
