Boggo is also here and he was 'on the bubble' for a seeding place and didn't manage to get one.
He's been drawn against Frenchmen Alexandre Sidorenko WR 187 with the winner likely to play No.2 seed Karol Beck
Decent draw for Boggo, Sidorenko lost in straights in Heilbronn aswell to Hrbaty, and also lost in the AOQ R2 after beating someone outside the top 1000, so similar start to Boggo's season.
Hopefully alex can get a decent run here

Sidorenko also managed to qualify for Zagreb last week beating Evo conqueror in Auckland Michael Lammer in the FQR and Wardy's conqueror in Zagreb Bemelman's in 3 sets before falling to Karlovic in two TB's
i saw Sidorenko play Milton at Wimble qualies, he was awful id never seen such an overranked player. i watched him play Safin at the French too and he was ok that day but still looked more like a guy ranked 400 than 200
Hopefully this is a match that Boggo can win as Sidorenko is not a great player but he has found a little bit of form this year which could be a problem for Boggo who has not been at his best at all.
Would fancy Boggo to win this if he plays well and the break that he has taken hopefully should help him.
