Indian Wells Qualies draw

GC77 · County player

Bogdanovic has a 2-1 losing record to Delic. He lost in the first round of US Open qualies in 2005 4-6,6-7(7), and in the 2006 Surbiton Challenger (6-7(2),6-3,4-6), but won their most recent encounter in Syney qualies in January 6-2,4-6,7-5. Delic only lost in two tie breaks to form player Tommy Haas in Memphis.

Boggo has never played Odesnik. Odesnik lost in 3 tight sets to Jamie Baker in the Waikaloa semis in January and beat Alan Mackin on the clay at San Luis Potosi. He has a 2-0 record against Sam Querry.

Boggo has a 2-0 winning record against Dlouhy, both from 2005 challengers, winning 6-3,7-5 in New Caledonia, and 4-6,7-5,7-5 in Wroclaw. In recent months Dlouhy has beaten Andreev on clay, Phau on carpet and lost in 5 in the 2nd round of the Australian open after beating Gabashvili 16-14 in the 5th!!

He got the draw he must have been praying for. Now qualify Mr Bogdanovic!

He won't see a much better qualifying draw for a TMS event than that - I hope he can capitalise. Murray says he's seen a fire in Bogdanovic that he didn't think was there before so let's hope that's true.

grr, the match is on at a sensible time...on the one day I'm not in during the evening.

Please would someone provide scores, and I hope to come back to a straight sets win, if Alex is playing at the same level as he was in Vegas I think he has an excellent chance to qualify, he was just really unfortunate to come up against Querrey who has huge potential (in my opinion).

Match is on the scoreboard...Alex serving first

It's a good draw but still a really tough match. Delic is no mug, he was in great form on the US hard courts last autumn, made a big ranking leap to break the top 100. He hasn't had the best of starts to the year but still has managed to get some quality results....beat Gilles Simon 9who won Marseille) in straights in the AO, beat Kohlschreiber (remember that great match he had against Nadal in the AO) in Delray Beach and in Memphis he beat Goldstein before giving eventual winner Tommy Haas a really close match.

Delic has a really massive serve (as you'd expect as he's 6ft5) and is a powerful hitter from the back, one of the best single-handed backhands on the tour.

Boggo opens with a hold to love, the big difference to when he's played Delic before is that he now has a much bigger serve
