Slabba really should be looking to qualify here, as there isn't any big dangers in his section like there was with Ignatik last week.

this is an outdoor event. (i think)
which is a bit odd for thsi time of year.

in the past you'd think indoor hard would be better for boggo but maybe he can fianlly find a singles win outdoors.

boggo gets scoville in 1st rd, with bozo or young in 2nd

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i just remember boggo bt jenkins 60 61 back in sept. another perfoamce like that we be nice, but i expect scoville will be up for revenge, and has been ice man recently.

Hopefully Boggo can remember what he did against Jenkins last time and get a win here, which should be what he's looking for from this week.

Just when you thought the Brits in autumn Challengers nightmare couldn't get any worse ...

I had a feeling he'd lose, just can't buy a win at this level at the moment.

Boggo & Slabba are in doubles qualifying v the top seeds Harsh Mankad & Ashutosh Singh.

odd to see them popping up in dubs q, but maybe a chance for boggo to get a feel for the courts and slabba to try and extend his week.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i assume alex and slabba play today.

if alex wins he will have to play his fqr dubs match then only get a few hrs before taking on scoville.

i cant see him putting too much effort into the dubs in these circumstances. unless for some reason he asked to play his singles today youd think the organisers could have at least given him a tuseday start.

steven · Tennis legend

They might at least have given Boggo an evening match, but the doubles is 2nd after 11 am local and his singles is n/b 3 pm local.

steven · Tennis legend

Scrap that - they pulled out of doubles qualifying and were replaced by an alternate pair. Good move by the Bogster if you ask me.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

yes, perhaps they only entered hoping they'd make the md direct.

its unusual for boggo to play dubs on the final week of a away trip tho as he normally prefers to head home and prepare for his next event once he loses singles.

looks like we may have to wait for ATP score updates on this one. or maybe from mtf. if i find out b4 tho i'll post it.
