looks like both out boys won, both with 76 64 scorelines:

assuming the guy with the green highlighter in Izmir is correct.

Thanks for that, Count.  7-6 6-4 seems to have been a popular scoreline in Izmir this morning:  Gucci beat Kudryavtsev by that as well!  I certainly hope "Green Highlighter Man" is correct!   "djash" on MTF won't be at all happy about Goody's win!   That reminds me, the semi-literate Frog, Ace-Maker, who got the Sirianni/Klein score the wrong way round yesterday was subsequently corrected by a Pole (& edited his/her post), who mentioned the green "thingy" & those scores were subsequently confirmed on the ATP site, so I'm feeling reasonably confident...

An awful thought - I hope the green isn't meant to be a shading out of the losers, especially with so many seeds apparently going out! Still, I guess only Levy could have won th first match 0 & 0, suggesting that green does mean winner.

Green means win surely. Well done to both...Goodie for the title now !!!

they already have tomorrow oop out! (take note LTA, this site has no English on it but is still more useful than most of yours ) and both boggo and josh are on it, so i am fairly certain GHM is right. let's hope GHM works his magic again tomorrow.

josh 1st up at 11.30 boggo 2nd match on the other ct.

L32: (LL) Josh Goodall WR 231 beat (4) Benedikt Dorsch (GER) WR 131 by 7-6 6-4
L32: Alex Bogdanovic WR 189 beat (WC) Haluk Akkoyun (TUR) WR 886 by 7-6 6-4

L16: (LL) Josh Goodall WR 231 v (Q) Ivan Sergeyev (UKR) WR 333
L16: Alex Bogdanovic WR 189 v Dominik Meffert (GER) WR 226

None of the four seeds in the bottom half of the draw survived R1! Josh is of course now 0-2 v Sergeyev, having lost to him in the fqr here, but revenge would be very sweet since there are three times as many ranking points at stake in R2 as in the FQR! Maybe someone needs to send Delilah over to cut Sergeyev's hair. (as an added bonus, it would make SC happy too! )

Meffert (CH 162) reached the QFs of the Cherbourg Challenger, the Final of a Future in France and the Sarajevo Challenger Final in March before taking a break in April, so should be high on confidence, the exact opposite of Alex in other words. However, Boggo beat him 4 & 4 in the Belgrade Challenger last year and 5-7 6-3 6-4 in the Shrewsbury Challenger in 2006 on his way to winning the title.

Given that Josh beat a German in better form than him whom he'd beaten on the way to one of his best tournaments (in Josh's case, qualifying for the USO) and then beaten again since to make his H2H record against him 2-0, the question is, can Boggo do the same?

Boggo's match is on the main court so should be livescored on bet36 from about 11.00 BST tomorrow.

Smid, its certianly a good win by Josh, but i cant see how this can be turning the corner for boggo more like scrapping though and i can see him going out to Meff unless he raises his game.

Lets hope Josh can find something fresh here, but Ivana will probably be feeling confident going into this (lets hope it his downfall)

i agree with smid. surely now goodal, boggo, ward, evans and eaton are at challenger level
