Week 10 Challenger - (€30,000) - Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The worst draw possible!

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Main draw is out and Boggo is the 6th seed here, but is unfortunately in the same quarter as Karol Beck, the top seed.

Boggo begins against Igor Sijsling of Holland who is ranked 187 and basically has all his points from three events, that being round 16 of Rotterdam, and challenger finals in Manchester and Chuncheon. Other than that he hasn't reached another challenger quarter final and only once got past a futures quarter final in the last 12 months.

Boggo should win this and beat him last year in Vancouver, but lost to him in Manchester when he had to retire hurt.

sorry to be pedantic coz it is a real tough draw for Dom but unless there's a last minute promotion I don't know about surely Tosic is the 2nd worst draw possible?

With Dom Inglot i think its more about how he plays than his opponent. If he's really on it I think he can match anyone ranked 200 or less atm.

Do you reckon he'll play dubs with Ogani?

Not when the no. 1 seed got a bye in qr1 (I assume that's why SMC said what he did)

I haven't found the score yet, but BBD must've won as he's on the Oop for tomorrow.

promotion! My get out clause. The no 1 seed was "promoted" to the next round.

Nah - you got me I did mean the main draw.

Worst draws possible often become best draws possible if you win the first match!

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Best draw possible then SMC!!!!!!!

It was never in doubt that Big Bad Dom would win though, was it.

QR2: Dominic Inglot WR 634 v Franco Skugor (CRO) WR 537

Skugor was in the top 300 two years ago and took a set off Peya a couple of weeks ago but Dom had the pleasure of beating him 1 & 2 with Chris in the doubles SF last week. Skugor's last matches against Brits were 5 & 3 and 1 & 3 wins against Amadeus F-J in 2006. He also lost to Alan Mackin in 2005 but stuffed a young Jamie Baker 0 & 2 that same year.

Fantastic for Dom against a player who has won multiple titles in past year...shame gets nothing for it.

BBD far from finished this week smile

I prefered Dominator to BBD, it went quite well with Wardinator. Was there any hint that Dom could acheive all this when he joined the tour last year and do we have any other 'hidden gems' in the College system??
