RE: Week 28 - Challenger ($75,000) - Aptos, California (Hard)


the odd thing was i was 99% sure boggo had beaten Devvy on a fast court at some point after that RG loss, but it must have been my imagination. perhaps Devvy lost in the rd b4 or something.

Alex said the balls are flying here, much lighter than Newport as its the Wilson USO ones, hopefully that will work in his favour as Devvy is a bit of a retriever right? so if its playing quick alex may have a better chance to hit through him?

Does Alex normally prefer faster courts/balls Count?

Yeah, he defiantly prefers the fast hard court, i think where he can move players around, create space for wining angles etc.

his best results really seem to have been more on indoor hard and American hard cts over the last few years

i definitely think Boggo is better on quicker courts but those with good bounces, otherwise he is prey to the massive servers

Great news to see it was Beck who pulled out.

I wonder why it upset Drew so...

Boggo FTW.

i was thinking that, but i'm pretty sure you cant get SE's into events you could have got a DE entry into if you had entered them in time.

I think Drew's post referred to the original news that it was Boggo who had pulled out!

7.10 Special Exempts (SE)
A. Eligibility
Players may receive a special exempt into the main draw of the following week's tournament
if they meet the criteria.
1) A player is eligible to receive a special exempt into the singles main draw of the
following week's tournament, subject to the provisions of this section, if he is
unable to compete in that qualifying competition because he is still competing on
the date the qualifying competition begins in another qualified event, AND his current
ranking as of the date of the entry deadline would not have otherwise qualified
him as a direct acceptance on the original acceptance list if he had entered
.
In addition, a player who is still playing a match at 9 p.m. on Friday (the qualifying
competition sign-in deadline) is eligible to receive a special exempt only if he wins
that match.

Looks like Boggo won't be playing next week then regardless cry

I guess he could ask for a Wildcard tho, which would be unlikely

Stupid rule. At least Boggo will win this event to make up for it.

maybe Ward would enter qualies for the match practice and give Boggo the Atlanta WC?

Wishful tihnking im afraid, the Wildcard that Ward got is property of the LTA (Normally USTA but the previous deal means the LTA) if James chooses to give it up then the LTA could then choose another player to give it too, not Ward. After not choosing to play Davis Cup, i highly doubt Boggo would be at the top of the list.

True, but it could have been a good way for the LTA to try and mend some bridges with Alex though, if that is ever their intention.

Although i think its fairly obvious they are trying to make up to Ward for the Wimby snub (which he then made look so silly with his Eastbourne run, although to be fair even with that he's still some way off 250)
