Bad timing.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

not great timing for a delay. hopefully bard can keep alex relaxed etc, maybe have a few tips. got to come out firing nad get the break.

stil lhopefully alex can have a bit of encourge ment he is getting into cilic's games, although sounds like cilic is coming up with some sweet cross court winners.

The commentators seem very impressed with the Bogster even if he is losing.

steven · Tennis legend

Good service game from Boggo, but he's very quickly down 40-0 on the Croatian's serve.

40-15 more compliments.

steven · Tennis legend

6-4 Cilic

Count Zero · Tennis legend

alex broke rigth at the start :(

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Expected to lose the first set, but being broken at the start of the second is a shame and not what he needs if he's to win the match.

Come back to find he's got break points in this game, but he just can't get the break

Count Zero · Tennis legend

just cant find the break, such a common thing for alex.

15-15 - B nets volley
15-30 - B puts shot in the net.... big point here

30-40 - B bh winner.... C'mon Boggo!
Game Cilic - B bh into the net

Cilic leads 3-0

GSM Cilic.... surely Boggo isn't going to come back here as he's just making too many errors - if he cuts the errors out he has a chance but he's just making too many to be in the match at the moment

Count Zero · Tennis legend

ah crap, this isnt what we wanted going into wimby. alex is just throwing it away it seems, the wind really doesnt help him tho.

At least he's on the board in this set, and hopefully he can get a break back as 4 and 4 doesn't look too bad - and at least make him serve the match out
