Share this article

Introducing a brand-new LTA Advantage exclusive – it’s time for you to have your say and vote your favourite tennis stars from the month of April in our latest feature, Player of the Month.

April delivered a month of British success across the ATP, WTA, ITF and Wheelchair tours, with Brits sweeping up titles across the board and securing career-high rankings - but who stood out to you the most?

Voting for April Player of the Month is now closed - we'll be announcing the winners very soon...

How does it work?

Every month, three players will be nominated for each of the following categories.

  • Men’s singles
  • Women’s singles
  • Doubles
  • Wheelchair

Then, it’s over to you to cast your votes. The players with the most votes from their respective categories will be crowned April's Player of the Month.

Voting for Player of the Month will open on Wednesday 10 May at 16:00, and close on Sunday 14 May at 23:59.

Now, let’s take at the April nominees and their highlights from the last month.
