bottom line Alex needs to be beating players like this if he wants to make the top 100....its a real hard one to work out...has he got it or not ?

It would appear that he hasn't on the evidence of his performances since that match against Rodders at Queen's... cry

No DC return for him against Croatia! hmm

Jack · Intermediate Club Player

Who would have thought it that alex has not won a match since that fantastic performance at queens. Am i right in saying the only way alex is going to make top 100 is by doing it at challenger level?

The reality is the player he was playing today is ranked lower than him, so the level he is playing at is not a problem. He needs to be entering these tournaments if he wants to get his ranking up.

Looks like it unfortunately. I don't know what would be best for Boggo. He has the talent of a guy who should be in the top 75, but mentally...

I don't know. It frustrates me but I bet it annoys him more than anyone. He is looking like a tweener - a guy who is too good for challenger level, but just, for whatever reason, can't take to ATP level and that is a real shame.

don't forget the whole Lundgren mess will have affected Boggo as well as Goodall.

Can't we just say thatat the moment Boggo is ****ing up a bit, its not lundgren, that thing was ages ago.
Boggo should be beating players like Stoppini, but isn't at the moment, a couple of months time he will be though

Had a bad feeling about this as soon as I got home and saw that the thread was only 2 pages long, as I knew the match ended in straights... and immediately saw that Boggo was broken to love to go 6-5 down

Very disappointing loss for Boggo, and it just isn't happening for him at the moment. He really needs to get a few wins from somewhere to get the confidence up, and has to get a nice draw next week to give him a few wins

Yep, we can! No probs. Boggo is underperforming.

But also, he hasn't win since his new coach was dropped in weird circumstances. It is possible for that to affect someone, even if it was "ages" ago, it matches with the time that Al's form dropped.

i dont think this is down to the lundi stuff. i think lundi may well be back he was only suspedened for a month, so that finished a while ago.

maybe Al's back is still not right, maybe it just wouldnt work for him yesterday, 5df's is very high for a pro over 2 sets. he could just be going through one of those runs we see happen now and then. letsjust hope he can turn it around soon.
