Am wondering how many people were inspired to vote for Heather after this week? #recencybias
Possibly, though actually I take it as voting for my favourite player just now, as opposed to over the last year or two or last decade...
This is my feeling too, but there is variability in "just now" - based on the last fortnight, I would have voted for Ms Watson too, but over the last year I think that Ms Boulter was my favourite in more weeks than Ms Watson.
... but over the last three years it would likely be Mr Evans, and over the last ten - fifteen Mr Murray (A)
I wonder if this had taken place now, as opposed to a month or more ago, whether the outcome would have been different? Would Katie B's San Diego win have made a difference to the votes? Would Andy's announcements around retirement in the summer, or his subsequent efforts in Miami and injury have improved his support?
How much of our voting is linked to things that are happening now and which impact who we support as our "favourite" at any one time?!
