So, while Boggo gets "promoted" into a seeded position and plays Muller, his previous opponent loses to the qualifier Martin. cryconfuse

 

 



yeah i saw that. typical. and Chokalini has gone from the top, although Mahut and sisling are still there.

 

tough little run for Boggo, a lot of time off then some difficult draws in Petz and Muller, hopefully he get a bit of luck in Israel.

Looking back apart from the AOQ boggo hasn't actually had and gift 1st rd draws yet, Muller was the lowest ranked 1st rd'r he's played.

Murray/Marray beat the Greek wild cards 6-3 6-2. THey play the big serving duo of Groth/King-Turner. Lets hope Groth's Brit bashing skills don't stretch to doubles.

They didn't, thank God:  Murray & Marray 6-0 3-6 [13-11], though I was convinced they were going to blow it near the end of the MTB! w00t.gif

Well done M&M. clap.gif That's more like it. nod.gif

4th seeds in the semi-final, they ran out winners 6-3 6-4. M&M will have to be on top form in the SF.wink

The boys' SF opponents will be the fourth seeds, Rik de Voest & Yen Hsun Lu (RSA/TPE), who will be no pushovers!

I see Bally's not the only one to be making a habit of letting leads slip today:  M&M led by 5-2 at one point, but were pegged back to 6-6, at which point some very British weather gods intervened & rain stopped play!    Hope they go back on court refreshed!

Where did you find the result, wolf?  I've been checking the LS & the tournament site all afternoon & the only result apparently available is in the bottom half, where Brown & Stadler (JAM/GER) saw off the second seeds, the Rati Thais, by 6-4 3-6 [11-9].   Pleased to hear it, though. smile That said, they'll have to have their wits about them tomorrow.  Brown & Stadler are clearly no slouches! pray.gif

Don't bother.  I see now that it's up on the ATP site.

I fear they may have lost:  they had dropped the first set on a tie-break, I think 3-7,  then the bloody LS froze at 15-15* in the second. bleh Now the LS is showing the Schüttler-Sela singles final & there's no sign of the result in the completed matches page! confuse I'd love to be wrong... please.gif

From James' post above it would seem your fears had some foundation, SC. Another tight match the Brits couldn't close out.

Shame, MM had 4 BP's in 1st set and couldn't take them. They didn't face one themselves yet lost the set (despite winning 52% of the pts!)

Damn, blast & b*gger!  I suspected that Brown & Stadler would prove a bit of a handful. hmm That said, I assumed, once the score disappeared of the LS, that they'd lost in straight sets, so I suppose they deserve some credit for making a bit more of a match of it.  It's nevertheless a bitter pill to swallow. bleh BTW, love your (not so) smiley. thumbsup.gif

Wasn't a good day for you today then. biggrin

Although it would have been nice if we could have delivered that sort of performance before it was too late.  The days of Leeds and Southampton are no more, back down to Burton and Barnet. cry
