Week 42 - Andrezieux 125K+H
Permalink  

Last time Boggo will be able to make main draw of one of these super-challengers till he gets back into top 130. Ridiculously strong draw though, I mean 14 top 100 players is just crazy.....looks like going for Kolding 50K+H would have been a better idea, with the Madrid Masters this week, all the players outside the cut flood to the challengers. Like with Mons, it's looking tough to spot a decent rd1 draw here... maybe Delic who Alex has beaten twice this year  or the crazy guys Koellerer and Luzzi.

The website doesn't look too bad. Hmm, a closer look means that I'm changing my opinion of it, I guess it'll depend on how often they update during the week.

Good luck to Boggo, I doubt he'll get a good round 1 draw but he's surprised us in the past and I remain firm in the hope he'll do so again smile.gif

Singles Draw

http://www.atptennis.com/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2007/827/mds.pdf

Boggo's section

(6) Diego Hartfield vs. (WC) Jeremy Chardy
Alex Bogdanovic vs. Qualifier
Qualifier vs. Federico Luzzi
Lukas Dlouhy vs. (2) Jose Acasuso

Now that is a gift of a draw for a 125K challenger! Honestly, Boggo is the best indoor player out of all of them there, and only Acasuso (who has had a terrible year) should actually give him a challenge. If Alex is fully fit, and mentally there, he should have no trouble in reaching the SF's (but he will have to play better than he has done over the last few weeks)

SF will likely be against a clay courter (pretty much everyone in that section is a clay player), so this is a good chance to reach a final, as all the top players and dangerous players are in the top half of the draw

I hope you are right, but with Boggo's luck he will probably get a qualifier on a red-hot streak!

Top seed is ranked 258, 8th seed is ranked 641, so no-one in the draw that is a threat to him in terms of ranking (but Bastl is there, as is Lipsky, and they were 2 of the most disappointing losses of the year)

Doubles draw

James Auckland and Stephen Huss v and Jose Acasuso and Diego Hartfield

Chris Haggard and Ross Hutchins v Jaroslav Levinsky and Jim Thomas (2)

Seriously hard draw this, all the players who just missed the cut for the masters series event in madrid seemingly are here.

So they had to split up to make it in! Ross got the "better" partner but Jimmy the better draw!

(obviously a subjective comment. Yes, I'm aware Huss won a slam!)

They still would have got in if they played together!

interesting. I wonder why the split then. Perhaps Aucks had agreed to play with Huss previously.

Does Haggard have a regular partner? Could be a coup for Ross...

No, Haggard doesn't have a regular partner.

good draw for Alex, although will have to see which qualifer makes it through, esp after last weeks dissapointing loss Alex could really do with some good results here, so he is feeling good going into barnstaple next week and then onto the States, i think it important that he can carry a form through for the rest of the year and salvage his ranking.

shame the website is v.poor again. the french sites initaly look better than the GB ones, but they are both very poor, so little of the information that goes up is genuinly interesting to tennis fans you feel.
