We have Alfie and Gordon (mens wheelchair doubles), Matt Knoessen (boys wheelchair singles) and Henry (and Harri) (mens doubles) into French Open finals this weekend.

Alfie goes in mens WC singles semis and Andy Lapthorne and Greg Slade in Quad wheelchair doubles semi as we speak.

Let's hope someone gets over the line over the next couple of days!!

3. Matthew Knoesen - for winning the French Open junior wheelchair singles and doubles titles, beating top seeded Lantermann in the final and adding to the World Team Cup win from the previous week

I realise I had nominated the team including Matt K., but winning the French singles unexpectedly and doubles as well stands out in its own right, so  feel he deserves that nomination as an individual separately from the team

4. Alfie Hewett/Gordon Reid - winning the French wheelchair mens doubles title, taking their first slam in 12 months and clearly showing they are the best pair in the game once more




 Apologies that I have done all of these, but I get passionate about big performances. Also, apologies they are largely from the wheelchair game, but that is somewhere Brits shine and get relatively little publicity, so I like to champion it.

Canda - you need to update Allegra's nomination. She is officially on 36 points and WR837 as of 08/06 and pending points take her to a live ranking of 783 and 46 points.

 Worth noting that anyone can do an update to someone elses nomination if it adds to it or makes something out of date correct etc. We dont need to wait for Canda, nominations arent owned by anyone, they are a communal thing! 

otherwise id feel worried people would feel obligated to vote for their nomination etc if they were seen to have owned it; I do lots of nominations relatively and throw them up as something anyone can change at any time, so long as they are a build or correction and not changed to cause trouble etc. 

Feel free to go ahead, TA, or maybe see how the next couple of weeks unfold eg wild card play offs and maybe Wimbledon qualies.
