No idea whats happening but it's 4-5 now.

Slabba holds for 4-5 (for those who believe the serve marker, and since the change from more breaks to more holds has coincided with a significant increase in the 1st serve %s, it probably is right) so Kud's about to serve for the set.

40-15, 2 sps ... and that's the set 6-4

It's gone very quiet. Has everyone given up on him?

gjr · Club Coach

Not me.

But if the stats are to be beleived and ok lets go with it.

Slab won 15 points on his own serve and 21 on the other guys.

I wonder what's gone wrong, I thought Slabba had a chance of winning here, not a chance to get bagelled!

The kind of day that must have Lloydy going "oh ****, I'm going to have to put Boggo in the DC team again now" and Boggo going "Oh no, what have I done?" wink

Here's a summary:

QR1: Alex Slabinsky WR 334 lost to Alexandre Kudryavtsev (RUS) WR 218 (CH 177, 7/2008) by 4 & 0 cry

QR1: James Ward WR 281 lost to Gianluca Naso (ITA) WR 232 (CH 230, 1/2009) by 5 & 4 cry

QR1: Alex Bogdanovic WR 184 beat (q24) Mikhail Kukushkin (KAZ) WR 149 (CH 131 5/2008) by 6-2 4-6 6-4 biggrin

QR1: Josh Goodall WR 204 lost to Pavol Cervenak (SVK) WR 300 (CH 256, 5/2007) by 7-6(5) 3-6 6-4 bleh

Boggo is back on court tomorrow:

QR2: Alex Bogdanovic WR 184 v Sebastien de Chaunac (FRA) WR 252 (CH=152 2/2002)

6th on Court 5, probably at around 07.00 GMT, but very hard to estimate.

De Chaunac inflicted a 3-set defeat on Boggo soon after DC last year and beat Bloomers in 2008 too. In fact, the Frenchman is on an 11-match winning streak (12 if you count a w/o v Rusedski) against Brits since losing 9-7 in a 3rd set t/b v Alan Mackin way back in 2000. He is now aged 31 though and it's time for the Bogmeister to break the streak, as he should have done when they met in October.
