Let's be fair . . . he was born in Germany; his mother is German; he moved back to Germany in 2004; and he practises in Hannover. It's hardly a stretch for him to play for Germany!


So why was he reportedly considering playing for GBR in the first place? confuse Agree with RJA: hypocrite! thumbsdown.gif

P.S.  The Krauts must be as desperate as we are for a player who can bridge the gap between a top-ten player & the pack....

The draw has opened up nicely for Boggo.
Injuries aside, he should qualify from here.
Famous last words I know!

you had to say that didnt you!

normally this would be looking good, but i'm still cautious, Boggo's been out for a long time after all.

Yeah, sorry Count.
Clearly he's got to take one match at a time after his injury.
He must feel really good having come through his first match since the US open.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I'm sure we offered Dustin an attractive package - he could have done wonders for the British game andthe media would have a field day, esp at Wimbledon. There may have been constraints re. changing nationality, but sportsmen and women have adopted British nationality before.   It seems to me that he is already quite German. His choice probably wasn't purely financial...A shame.  

Johnny Mc was born in Germany, he could have played for them.....

Steve

PS don't forget the clocks go back!

Despite the higher prize money and points on offer in Astana, the doubles field is much stronger here:

(4) Johan Brunstrom & Dominic Inglot (SWE/GBR) v Richard Rerankis & Blaz Kavcic (LTU/SLO)
(2) Jordan Kerr & Ken Skupski (AUS/GBR) v Jonny Marray & Jamie Delgado (GBR/GBR) crycry

Boggo raced into a 4-1 but has now been pegged back to 4-4 in the first set.

If Boggo makes the final qualifying round he will play Czech veteren Jan Mertl, currently ranked 389 but he has been as high as 163.

I am of course assuming that the tournament website has got things correct today, after yesterday that might be a dangerous assumption.
