yes i think thats what they must have done.

perhaps the ATP only started listing slam qualies from then?

I can forgive LTA this time, checking ATP profile for Boggo they dont show his appearance in Oz before 2007 - Strange!

You've mellowed - surely how many times one of their top players has played in qualies for a slam isn't something they should have to rely on known-to-be-dodgy ATP records for ... or if they do, at least be aware enough to think "hold on, I'm sure he's been there more often than that, maybe I should check on ITF as well" (or check their own records, you'd think they'd have some for stuff as basic as that)

surely he cant lose it now...

this was written a long time ago but i missed it in all the excitment, but never say this about Boggo ok, its tempting fate beyong all measure, because unfortunalty yes boggo is capable of losing from that postion and i'm sure has done so!

i have learnt with boggo it best to never count your chickens

steven · Tennis legend

Yes, I saw that at the time and thought what, that's almost like a challenge to Boggo, does he want him to lose LOL

Still, no harm done, it all worked out ok!

Vandenburg · Futures level

what a dissapointing night,i would i be right in thinking the guys havent got a challanger action planned for the next few weeks??? its been once again proved that boggo is the only brit who is a steady top 200, i think goodall has such a inflated ranking personally,the queen mother good get pounts in india challangers.

She would have a hard job!!

With the next few challengers having high cuts its either futures or qualies really. Josh may get into Wroclaw, towards the end of the indoor season a few small challengers appear.

Wasn't too long ago you were predicting Boggo to fall out of the top 500.

isnt boggo in helibron in week 4

wolf · Tennis legend

I didn't expect Slabba to win but thought he would put up a fight at least, and really Wardy and Josh should have won their matches.

Well done to Boggo though - the saviour of British tennis!

Count Zero · Tennis legend

He wont get into Helibron as a DE unless there is a plague outbreak (initial cut was 150) but he may enter qualies there or somewhere else, i don't know at the moment, he will probably decide what do with wk 4 once he is back from Oz, if he does week here he may just take break.

as we have said else where the calender si a bit of a mess this year with no challenger in wk 6 at all now.

the 1st small challenger aren't until wk 8 really.

Posted by Stuart Fraser on AM.com:

"I was at all these matches today although I had to keep an eye on two at the same time as Goodall & Bogdanovic were playing on adjacent courts at the same time. Only on the net briefly tonight so will log on in the morning to give an update with a bit more detail. John Lloyd was also keeping an eye on all these matches and it really does look like it's gonna have to be Boggo again for that second Davis Cup singles spot."

Boggo's top 100 dream going up in smoke again? evileye

whilts josh i do still keep this predictions,no can argue in terms of talent, boggo has always been a comfortable top 200, tho i predict his drop being caused by other reasons.
