oh dear. i think he was hoping for a day off. from waht i gather his back was feeling pretty tight after all these matches so i think this could be tough.

I think he would have appreciated a day's rest, even though his first round match was only 15 games and less than an hour. When did he last play matches on 5 days in a row??!! As well as his back being fragile and needing to recuperate, I'm worried that the stress of matches on consecutive days will have left him drained.
It is a good opportunity to get some much needed points though. I make him a slight favourite to win provided his back feels ok when he wakes up. I was even going to put my money where my mouth is and place a bet, but Bet365 have Alex as 6:5 fav. This doesn't make much sense, given the disparity in rankings and fitness. It would make more sense to bet he loses!

I love that, making Boggo slight favourite for the match and tempted to put money on, but then questioning the bookies for themselves making him slight favourite. How dare they

i cant see how boggo can be Fav. Jesse is 180 places above him, at practically his career best against a guy who just on his was back from injury and wasn't even on fire b4. i assume it's a case of the bookies thinking 'well we've heard of boggo'
