RE: Week 25 - ATP Nottingham - 2008 - Qualification Draw (Dan Cox beats Bellucci WR68 !)


Yes, seems okay to me, FD. But what the ATP should do is identify the tourneys which have higher cuts and give them Gold status. It hardly takes a genius to figure out which tournament this week would have a better qualies cut, a Tour event in a country that hosts a Slam next week or one that doesn't! Plus the ATP can just hire people to compile the data from the last few years. Normally the same events have better qualies fields - Sydney, Queen's, New Haven etc. while Beijing, Dubai etc. don't. But Dubai is an ISG, so you get 5 points for losing in the second round of qualies, that's just not fair!

My 15 points comment was wrong, I admit. But he should at least get 5 for points for it.

Boggo leads 5-4*

Surprised by how poorly Boggo seems to be returning, as Falla isn't know for his big serve, and to be honest, I can only remember him just rolling the serve in as a way of starting the point.

Judging by today he's found some more pace from somewhere as he seems to be going for it a lot more

Don't quite know how he won that set, but he did, so great for him.

I think Falla may tank now, given he has to go 3 sets to win when he knows he's in as a LL (and it would make sense to)

Boggo still needs to serve better it seems, with only 1 ace so far compared to the 14 he served yesterday, and has to take advantage better of the fact Falla is serving 42% 1st serves
