Week 24 - Wimbledon Qualifying


Yes, certainly got to agree that Muzza's been given a good looking draw there.  Fed's isn't half bad either,  with Djoko and Nadal clearly having tougher looking quarters of the draw and potential matches.

I would feel really very confident about things if that draw was allied to an Andy in better form but at least he should be able to play his way in here, so who knows.

Re Jamie, Beck is comparatively to my mind not too bad a draw at all.  Trouble is for Jamie to progress he really wanted a very very good draw, just being better than average is very likely too good for him.  But at least I don't look at it as an impossibility.

Ok draw for Jamie, but as Indy says it was going to have to be a exceptionally good draw for him to have more than a small chance of a match here..

The doubles guys don't have totally bad draws, in the first round at least except for obviously M&M who basically have no chance.

Ullyett is basically retired now and totally lacking in match practice, and Fognini is not the best grass courter ever, so a decent chance for Dom and Chris, but they are going have to up their game after their dire showing at Queen's.

Delgy and Josh have a good draw, but I think they could struggle as they have never had the greatest results together, but I can't see them winning second round if they get there.

Ross and Jordan should beat Boggo and Slabba and have after that they have a fairly good draw.

Colin and Ken do have a bad draw, but they are quite capable of winning their first round especially if Mahut and Clement concentrate on the singles campaigns, and could push the Bryans in R2.

NewBallsPlease http://newballs.wordpress.com/ have unwittingly come up with an alternative line for 'Boggo's Coming Home' that wouldn't need to be changed every year. smile

Replace '74 years of hurt' etc with:

GB on a shirt
Davis Cup still gleaming
64 games of hurt
Never stopped us dreaming

Still doesn't scan, of course, and it wasn't a DC match, but beggars can't be choosers!

Mahut must have the best fitness, first he beats Boggo 24-22 in the 3rd set in a match over 4 hours

He then beats Koubek in the FQR in 5 sets after 129 games

He's now been playing his 1st round for over 9 hours and is in the 5th set against Isner, 53 all, INSANE!!!!


Who else honestly could play that long and still be in the competition?
