Nominations

1. Oliver Bonding, for winning the J500 "Banana Bowl", dropping only one set along the way. Oli is the first British boy to win a J500 event since they were introduced in 2023, having earlier in the week become the first British boy to reach the semis or beyond of a J500 event. Prior to the introduction of J500s, only three other British boys had won any of the equivalent top-level "Grade A" tournaments, the last of them being George Morgan, who won the 2010 Orange Bowl.

2. Alfie Hewett - won the Super series Cajun Classic, beating world number one (Oda) in the final and for a secomd straight week to take his consecutive wins now to 12 matches. Also won the doubles title (w/ Gordon Reid).

And Liv also takes a title, and I think Mark Whitehouse in mens doubles action?

I thought about nominating Liv - but a W125 title is always within her reach, so not on its own outstanding. And Austin was included in February POM

 Makes sense - has she got other events this month to make a further mark?

 There'a couple of clay court W125's during the second week of Miami (doubt they will play those) - but unless they manage an alt spot in Miami I think that will be it for March.

I disagree with recent comments. I feel Olivia is worthy of a nomination. Its not as if she was seeded in this tournament, had to beat a seeded pair and adds to her points total. Consistency at this level is to be respected.
