Week 41 - Challenger ($100,000) - Tiburon, CA (USA) - Hard

Spectator · All-time great

Mr Bogdanovic's first match is a gift. But Strode seems to be playing really well. And in addition to Smyczek, it's probably worth being wary of Michael Shabaz, another underranked recent graduate. But then again Siwy beat Shabaz when they were playing a major college tournament (and lost in the next round), so maybe that won't be an issue.

(Incidentally, Shabaz won the collegiate doubles one year with none other than Dominic Inglot)

Strode is the player Boggo had to retire against when he was a set up at USO Q last year. Also the player who beat Jamie B in the FQR last week of course.

Boggo *5-0 up.

Strangely Smyczek's match isn't showing on live score. He should have started at the same time as boggo

RCD · Intermediate Club Player

Boggo must have something important planned after this match - he's rolling through the second set, now 5-0 with AB to serve for the match

RCD · Intermediate Club Player

Boggo takes the win 6-2 6-0 in just over an hour.

Boggo bashes banana skin Blake

Smyczek or Siwy next - either a w/o for one of them or live scores aren't working on that court.

RJA · Hall of fame

Have to assume that it is a problem with live score as the following match would have gone on ages ago if there has been a wo.
