helki · Futures qualifying

Another win to add to their collection.

Anderson and De Voest up next. 1st and 3rd seeds already out, just need the Rati-Thais to go and I'll breathe more easily. wink

I'm not holding out much hope for a Boggo victory tonight, he must have been really injured to only beat Sisling, who I've watched play three matches and not impress me in the slightest, 7-5 in the third.

The Knight · Challenger qualifying

Sijsling is playing well, he beat Tomic in qualifying too comfortably

Mikeduke · County player

This is taking a long time, finally some news on Boggo

Apologize on the Jenkins/Bogd. 3rd set and it's dark. Really dark. Like too dark to play, but they're still playin

Mikeduke · County player

Another update:

Jenkins/Bogdanovic susp. darkness 6-4, 6-7(14). May resume under lights on stadium or in a-m.

Boggo must have saved/lost a load of break points in that tie break!

Mikeduke · County player

Looks like play is suspended for the day so alex will have a one set hit out tomorrow.

Mikeduke · County player

Alex is scheduled for 3rd on court 1 tomorrow.

Flemski are following the conclusion of that match.

Match points no less. I hope the rest overnight will give him the strength to close this one out

steven · Tennis legend

7-6(14) after saving lots of MPs, eh? I'm liking this new mentally strong Boggo!

(though no doubt the t/b was made harder than it had to be LOL)

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Not sure whether having to start again will help or hinder Boggo with regards to his injury, but hopefully having a rest before going back for one set today will enable him to be at his best.

Great effort from him to win the tiebreak and Boggo has started to come out on top in these close matches recently, so whatever he is doing is working (and the last time he won a long tiebreak like that he won the title in Granby, so maybe a good omen.)

Either way, it can't be too good for Jenkins having wasted all those chances as he'll have to spend all night thinking about how many chances he missed, but if they had carried on, he may have been so distraught (and mentally he isn't the most stable anyway) that he'd have self-destructed.

If Boggo can win, he gets Bubka, who beat Matosevic in a 3rd set tiebreak, so the draw is opening up for Boggo if he is fit enough to take advantage of it.

You can now do just that: they were beaten 4-6 6-4 [7-10] by Ball & Bubka "overnight", which means that Col & Ken are the only seeds left in the competition... disbelief

Boggo's match resumes on Court 1 today after a women's singles, which kicks off at 19.00 BST, & Im vs Smyczek & will be followed by Flemski vs Anderson & de Voest.

Tim · Intermediate Club Player

CMON all the Brits! Twitter down right now ... hopefully back for the matches!
