If we end with a tie, for top place, I dont propose a vote off. Its ok to have two favourites. Lets see where we land but as per PoM this season, ties are ok.
11 votes so far , quarter of the way into the vote. Sonay and Fran tied at the top with Emma just a vote back. To be fair, theres only 3 votes between top and bottom at this early stage so all are in contention still.
Katie B for me. She does seem very friendly and likeable and is a player I really want to see do well. Hopefully we will see her more consistently at a very good level with the new coach. Go, Katie!
2020 1. Dan 2. Andy 3. Heather 2021 not held 2022 1. Andy 2. Dan 3. Harriet 2023 1. Andy 2. Emma 3. Cam and Katie Swan 2024 1. Heather 2. Andy 3. Jack 2025 1. Jake 2. Fran 3. Jodie
Heather is a past winner; Fran, Jack, Emma and Katie S. past medalists. New territory for Sonay and Katie B
for those wondering, 2021 not taking place wasnt Covid related - it was that this vote hasnt become a thing at that stage - 2020 was a one off because of Covid, due to lack of tennis. We did lots of votes and some stuck as ideas. 2022 was when I realised folks liked it and made it a thing.
I think I would have been happy to choose any one of these players but voted for Katie B for the reasons Indy pinpointed. Sonay and Fran came very close.
