Week 20 - Challenger - Zagreb, Croatia
Permalink  

Just read through this thread, thanks for all the comments. It sounds to me like Boggo simply doesn't believe he can win on clay at the moment. Both this match and last weeks one he's come really close to winning and then the match has turned against him. Hopefully he takes confidence from how close he comes and realises that it IS possible to win! I'm sure it'll come, hopefully in RG qualies and I'm impressed that he's gone for these two tournaments and not shied away from the challenge of the dirt. Go Boggo!

And I'm really happy to see Aucks and Delgy playing together again! Do you think this will be for the grass-court season when they have lots of Wimby points to defend or is it just while Huss skips the clay/is injured (I don't know which it is). I hope Delgy gets a permanent partner soon, i want him to break the top 100. please.gif

Good luck to them in the quarters.

Just doing some quick, very rough claculations I think a win in Zagreb would take Delgado to number 98 in the dubs so lets hope he and Aucks can pull it off! please.gif

Huss isn't injured. He's been playing quite a lot with someone else so hopefully Aucks and Delgy are partners again!

You're right Bethan, a win for the Brits this week would take Delgado up to 98 (unless Zaballos or Armando reach the final of Forest Hills, or one of the lower ranked players win Hamburg)

clap.gifclap.gif another good result (though as 1st seeds they should be winning these matches but still, it's clay).

The link on page 1 doesn't work anymore. Is Bwin still covering Zagreb?

Semi final:

(1)James Auckland/Jamie Delgado(Gbr) bt R Dutra Silva/J Silva 7-5, 4-6, 10-7

Final:

(1)James Auckland/Jamie Delgado(Gbr) vs (2)Tomas Behrend(Ger)/Andre Ghem(Bra)

Delgado moves up to WR103 with this semi final win (and above Andy to British number 3). A win in the final will move him up to WR98.

Good result.
I wonder if they will continue to play together (eg. RG) and maybe form that true British doubles partnership?

Commiserations to the pair of them. I think they did very well to reach this final on clay!

oh no cry.gif That means Delgy will be at a new career high, but still outside the top 100. Lets hope he and Aucks appear somewhere else this week and he can make it, he's soo tantalisingly close.
