Anytime I keep writing on this forum, Boggo has a good week, lol. However let's not get overexcited because the guy I talked to on the phone sounded drunk.
I'd love it if the news was right and Boggo did win as this looks like the start of a reasonably promising week for him and getting him back towards the Britsh number 2 spot where he should be (but annoying he isn't playing anywhere next week to follow this up unless he fancies a trip to Scotland to play 1 week on the clay)
Yes, they are QF points from the same tournament last year (the information is but a single click away, I'll leave you to guess where ), so he needed to win today to avoid dropping out of the GB top 3 next Monday.

I wonder if this tournament will mark the end of the slide down the rankings and the start of the climb back up - really excellent result to come back from a set down against a former world no. 59.
L16: Alex Bogdanovic WR 255 beat (2) Gilles Muller (LUX) WR 125 by 5-7 6-3 6-4
QF: Alex Bogdanovic WR 255 v (8) Stephane Bohli (SUI) WR 163
Bohli beat Matt Smitth and Bloomers before losing to Colin Fleming in a GB Future in 2005 and has since played just two Brits, Parmar and Mackin, beating them both.
