Blimey ! Glad I put this thread up , I was going to wait!
And I was wondering where it was!! But I guess you were busy with the June voting one
Haha. I usually wait until the vote is done - most months the early part of the next month has little interest as nothing important happens those first few days, but obviously Wimbledon is different!

Thanks for the narrative updates and what events for both of them. Hoping Cam, Emma and Harriet join the list, and 19 other pairs or part pairs have a chance also at this stage of the main draw events.
Loads of juniors (12 boys in main draw plus 11 girls and 2 boys and 2 girls in junior FQR. And then a good number of players in the wheelchair events also).
Business end of week 1 and halfway through the Wimbledon championships. Remember, anyone can nominate any player they choose at any time. No permission needed - just take the last list above, quote it and then add a name or names for a pair, and give a reason.
3 . Sir Andy Murray for working his butt off just to get out there on court and play alongside his brother. Result doesn't matter. The man is a legend. Enough said.
