We are halfway now in this months Pom cycle - 17 days into a 35 day period. Hopefully lots of players impressing on the grass who will pop up here later this month!
Remember, the month will close at the end of the Eastbourne week.
Feels like there are quite a few players doing great things in Nottingham that will be in the conversation for this over the next few days. Other venues are available for consideration, of course.
OK. Decision taken. I have to go for it - but maybe not quite what you are thinking.

Lots of other interesting names and achievements on the list, too.
