Yes! Bergamo then Wrexham in '06, then out in R2 of Shrewsbury.

So that's 2 11 match ones. but no 12 match ones....yet!

i dont think alex ever had an uniterruppted one that long 12, but boggo stopped playing futures when he was 18.

i think boggo only ever won 1 future in fact

alex would have had the record with a 15 match challenger winning run, but he decided to have a laugh and play the orlando ch where he lost in rd2. otherwise he would have won sunderland bergmao and wrexham back to back (with a xmas break) the run was cut as he picked up a injury in the bergamo final.

Um, the ATP has him getting to R2 in Barletta as his first games of 2005 - which is just 11 matches - so Jamie's just matched that

- now then, did Boggo have a winning streak........

Barletta was in March 2005, he played la Serena in January - see ITF. So that's 12, and surely we can count DC for Jamie, making his streak 12 as well.

Good idea whoever mentioned Sats - Alan Mackin (yet another Scot!) won two Sats in a row then reached the SFs of the 3rd in Indonesia in late 2004 - i.e. a streak of 13.

Any advance on 13?

We know this isn't fair to Boggo, we're just having fun

weird - ATP misses out all activity before Barletta

Cool - So Jamie's got the longest run since Andy in 2005......unless anyone knows any different!

Baker vs. Oudsema in round 2

they split meetings last year. jamie won their first meeing 4,3 while scott took the last meeting, 6-3, 6-7, 6-2. oudsema played our challenger this year and has a big game. if the weather stays the way it has been in the valley recently(windy and warm), i give jamie the edge. the forecast shows rain and only a high of 77 tomorrow, so we'll see.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

that could be tough, he bt boggo last year didnt, in delray beach i think.

i guess it may depend how much jamie has in the tank, another 3 setter he could be running on empty.

whats 77 in deg C?

this might be the funniest misprint atp has done in awhile. oudsema is a very built kid. height and weight wise. they have his height correct, 6'3, but his weight, they have him at 147lbs, or 66kg. he is probably around 185-190lbs.

'only' 25 degrees.

I can't run in that kind of heat. It kills me.

Craig, they probably took that stat of his junior profile or something.

unless you are big they dont get an update. i also wonder how thye deterime who gets a photo or not? is there a rankings cut in point?

they still have boggo as coached by rafeal, despite all the huge press sround brad gilbert :)
