Anyway- I couldnt split Katie and Alicia, both won two events, Katies included a 75 and 35 level versus a pair of 35s. Both unbeaten. But Katie was top seed in both hers and Alicia was first and second. So I cant split them other than give a nod to Katie for doing so well given her general fitness.
But Toby, for me, caused the big surprise and at the higher level- qualifying for a slam on a surface that isnt your surface. That surprised me and he gets my vote!
This may be a short list compared to some months but every nomination is very impressive.
Tough choice but I went for Toby. Getting through qualifying for any grand slam is very hard, first time for anything is always worth celebrating and he beat some strong opposition to get there.
Toby for me - this time last year outside the world 1000 - now becomes only the fourth Briton in the open era to qualify at RG. I read he has only ever played 9 tournaments on clay
