The problem is, if he loses this we can't take much consolation from the fact he's pushed him so close (much. much closer than Wardy did at Queen's for example) because we know Boggo is capable of playing better tennis than some of these top players, all he needs is to close out the matches. I wonder if the shin problem is catching up with him in a long match or if Baggy's just remembering what a good player he can be when he really wants to be.

Boggo loses 6-3 in the 3rd :(

Onwards and upwards i guess

Baggy's a good player on his day

Good effort from Boggo, but just couldn't get the win in the end. Seems like if he could have managed a break in the second set that may have been enough, but Baghdatis's class told in the end.

Seems to be in great form at the moment, so as long as he can keep this up, Boggo hopefully could get the ranking up, and also qualify for the US Open.

just to finish off baggy took the title 4 & 4.

a good effort from Alex this week. as soon as it went to the 3rd Baggy was always going to be fav, esp as boggo still isn't 100% and i'm, not sure how he expects to be if he doesn't take a break)

so that takes him to over 200 pts won this year, and again shows some consistency on the summer hard cts. its becoming boggo's best part of the season now isn't it.
