Andy takes the first set 6-4, converting the third setpoint. The Argentinian service is there to be broken every time at the moment

He takes the first set by 6-4!  Hallelujah!  I was afraid to comment during that 10th game in case I jinxed his chances!  Keep it up, lad...

It ain't getting any better, is it:  3-4*?  He recovered one break only to concede another in that seventh game! cry  For God's sake get your @rse (or should it be your head), in gear, lad!

Other than the first service game and the 7th game where he seemed to ease off a bit, I thought he played really well. Both his head and arrse seem to be in the right place for a change.

ps I'm ignoring his serve of course.

Andy duly wins 6-4 6-1. Poor Nalby's serve has really suffered with all his injuries, and once Andy had cured his early profligacy he always looked as if he would win every Argentinian service game.

Tsonga a set and 0-2 down to A Bogomolov, so this might be Andy's next opponent.

Who do we fear most?

And it is the American Boggo for Andy next.  He won   6 - 3   6 - 4 

I hadn't realised how steadily he had been sneaking up the rankings, I remember how the two Boggos used to be compared.  He's at a CH of WR 50 after qualifying and reaching the L32 in Montreal, and will be going higher again after qualifying and reaching the L16 ( stop there, mate ! ) here.

Not to mention the fact that it's a (relatively) early chance for Andy to avenge his humiliation at Yankee Boggo's hands (by 1 & 5) in the last 64 of Miami in March! wink

Gee, I'd somehow managed to wipe that from my memory bank.  Don't think I was able to retain both the Donald Young Indian Wells defeat and the Bogomolov defeat !

Andy first on on Court 3 (his opponent playing dubs later may explain the scheduling). Hoping his new diet has made him more of a 'morning' person biggrin

He's got his work cut out........ Tsonga didn't get near to breaking Bogomolov's serve according to the stats for that match.

Watched quite a bit of Boggo Junior at Nottingham, and the best way I could describe him, would be to say he is quite a loud animated tennis player with street fighter qualities, not majorly talented as a tennis player but makes for it and more with his mental strengths.

As well as a chance to get revenge for that Miami loss, the last (only) time Muzz beat Bogomolov (4&4 in the 2005 Binghamton Challenger QFs), he went on to win the title.

Also, ESPN published an interesting article on the Russian-born American Bogo earlier this week - es.pn/n02dRw - if only this could have been the Serbian-born British player in Eurosport's Bogo v Boggo competition instead.

Then again, Bogomolov is a year older than Alex, so who's to say he can't do the same ...
