Boggo sounds like he needs a rest. No point playing tournaments like this if he's not 100% as the repeated losses and retirements will surely only undermine his confidence.
Count , the BBC are apalling at using admitted,claimed and words like that. You frequently see things like "We were robbed by the ref", admitted someone. So I would put stupidity just ahead of having a dig in the betting.
Booty and Stretch are up last on Grandstand court against Lipsky/Martin. Probably be early hours of the morning here. Desperately need these guys to bring some cheer to an otherwise drab week.

That's what I was expecting, but their names are up on the live scoreboard NOW & play is under way...! Second seeds they may be, but that's no guarantee of safe passage to the second round!
Lipsky and Martin are pretty good, one of the upcoming American pairs. Lipsky in particular has a huge serve and forehand which did some serious damage last time Jamie faced them....with Col Fleming in the Binghampton challenger final last autumn. That day Lipsky and Martin won 10-2 in the champions breaker
