Those that have been to Manchester describe it as a very nice event to visit Ballavong. Friendly, close to the players, good viewing. Have fun (and file a report!)
Don't think Alex will play Winnetka, I asked him last night if he was going to play here and he said no, still it wouldn't be the 1st time he's changed his mind quickly.

After that i think he will play the US end of year challengers too but the calendar hasn't updated that far yet.
Given his ranking, these are ambitious plans, good to see. He seemed to go for quite a few years winning at least one challenger per year. Do you think he'll win others in the future or, have those days gone now?
i believe it's still in him. The reason Alex is keeping going is he still believes that he can make it, his aim isn't to win 1 challenger etc, it's to make the top 100. If he didn't still believe then I think he'd call it a day. With what he's achieved he could walk right into a nice coaching job so for him to keep grinding it out on the lower reaches of the tour shows he still has the desire.
