my s/b not working so keep updates coming!

Count Zero · Tennis legend

he's done it :)

Scratchy · Club Coach

Another great result from Boggo.
He really has found some decent form at the back end of this year. No reason why he can't progress to the Quarters at least.

*does the fist pump followed by a little chair dance*

really pleased with that. looked like a real tough match, Meffy has been playing fairly well recently and did beat Alex comfortably earlier in the year. the game at 4-3 in the 3rd really was vital, generally whoever wins a game like that will come out on top and it probably just drained Meffy.

fingers crossed he can go deep here and pick up some good points, really need to be making the semis at least though, unfortunately quarters just don't cut it any more if he wants to progress upwards.

Good fighting win against a decent top 200 player.

Great hold at *4 - 3 when it could have unravelled then.

Robin Vik of Czech Rep ( who he beat in Kolding semis ) or qualifier Nils Langer of Germany next up.

Great win - Alex now up to about 175 in projected rankings

Count Zero · Tennis legend

that's a big jump for only 5 pts!

edit: maybe he'd do that if he made the QF's?

Yes, 13 points for QF would take him to 297 points.

Currently 175th place is 300 points and then there are 4 guys ( 176th to 179th ) on 298 points.

I've not done a ( Steven smile

) analysis on what points these guys ( and other guys around ) will drop or can gain this week.

Anyway, Boggo's going on and on here.....

PS : One of the 298 pointers is actually Meffert so I had a quick look at his situation. He's not due to drop any points this week so Alex woiuld have to go further than QFs to overtake him this week, but the guy does have 26 points to drop the following week fropm last year's Jersey Challenger QF.

Alex has nothing to come off the rest of the year and even after this week just 16 counting tournaments.

Well done alex !!!!

steven · Tennis legend

Well done to both of them

- I make it that these wins will take Boggo to about 184 (up 2) and Josh to about 280 (down 45, but up about a dozen places on where he would have been when the Rimouski semis points come off if he hadn't won a match here)

goldfish · Futures qualifying

A good start for Josh and Alex. Pleasing to see some more wins at Challenger level, especially with Alex winning these 3 set matches now.

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Well done lads! Keep it up.

seagull · Hall of fame

Alex is up to 175ish because of all the players dropping big points this week

e.g. Vanek, Dabul, Bohli, Karanusic, Sweeting, Roitman etc

170 Dominic Meffert 298
171 Julian Reister 298
172 Gaston Gaudio 298
173 Pablo Andujar 297
174 Michael Lammer 296
175 Albert R-Vinolas 291
176 Alex Bogdanovic 289
177 Jean Brzezicki 288
178 David Guez 287

This table does not include Sweeting. Roitman as still in events this week

Count Zero · Tennis legend

ooo well done that man - its like the good old 'what if' days are back.

actually we always though due to the points changes boggo could make gains at the end of the year. fingers crossed he can stay fit and get some more wins to maximise on it.

also will his ranking at the end or start of this week be used to determine Jersey seedings? i should know thsi already!
