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...

I'm sure there used to be a poster who ...
