He never actually says it directly but he obviously feels that Boggo (and the doubles team) could have wanted it more in their rubbers and done more to get the crowd on their side http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7628434.stm

Daniel Evans - Still out in the Cold

He may well be with Cox and Smethurst out in S...
