I know, we're getting a bit spoilt, aren't we. LOL

Just wait until the next GB Challenger comes around - total blackout unless we have someone there texting scores.

Draw is out, and Boggo has perhaps got the best draw he could have hoped for, at least in round 1.

Boggo faces wild card Daniele Bracciali, who was at one stage ranked 49, but is now down to 849 and has beaten the grand total of 1 top 400 player since returning from a gambling ban last May (at least I think that was what he was banned for)

Not a match that Boggo should lose really.

Bit of a problem in round 2 though... likely to be top seed Fabrice Santoro.

lets hope Bracc doesnt suddenly find his old form!!
Santoro is a tough 2nd rd, but lets take it one match at a time. alex has faced santoro once before, i think back in 05 losing 76 62.

hopefully the courts wont be quite as fast as the last 2 weeks.

IN doubles Boggo is teaming with the Pole Tomasz Bednarek

They have a horrible draw however with 3rd seeds Haggard/Vizner in R1

Upsets are happening in Bergamo:  in the bottom half of the draw (so not Boggo's), which is now complete, two Swedish qualifiers, our old friends, Johan Brunstrom & Filip Prpic, have dumped out the eighth & third seeds in straight sets!  Brunstrom saw off Simon Stadler (8) by 5 & 2 & Prpic Ivo Minar (3) by 7-6(7) 6-4. biggrin  Fingers crossed for Boggo this evening... pray.gif

after a rather lengthy intro in front of a less than packed stand Alex enters the court with his, now trademark, trudge smile.gif

i cant see the expression on his face but i guess for one of bemusement. its only a 1st rd challenger match after all.

Boggo's at the near end during the warm up, in case the trudge didn't give it away. wink (I know I don't need to tell the Count this ...)

Looks like we're going to have to play the "guess the score" game here. smile.gif
