My reply to the question, what's Vico like.
He's comfortable coming in to the net, quite a decent serve, pretty powerful forehand. The biggest thing with him is he blows very hot and cold, so can beat Baghdatis one week and then lose to Miles Kasiri the next (which he did last autumn in Southampton and...
This match starts shortly.
Waske is ranked 117, career high if 89 which he reached in June this year. He's never played Alan but he has a 2-0 losing record against Boggo, both matches were indoors.

So an easy 1st round win for Andy...now is the step up....we all hope that Ivan will be suffering from his excellent run of form after his early exit from the USO.

Mike is the coach of Boggo and Mackin, he's currently in Kolding and I had a chat with him this evening.
This is what he said on the Mackin match:
" The match was a bit strange. Waske has a big serve and is very physically imposing. He's difficult to play as he mixes things up and doesn't give you any...

They've played once before, in rd1 of the 2005 US Open; Verdasco won 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. However, Henman had been really struggling with his back up to that match and it really affected his serve and movement that day. Verdasco was just picking him off at will from the net a...

Am I right in saying that there used to be a poster on here claiming to be Jonny Marray?
I had a chat with him at Nottingham today, and asked him if he'd been on this site recently and he said no he'd never contributed to any website although he had looked at BTZ.
I'm sure there used to be a poster who ...
