Week 4 - Challenger ($50,000) - Honolulu, HI, USA - Hard
Permalink  

Boggo should be getting his 2012 season under way in the main draw here, but before that:

QR1: (wc) Jonathan Brooklyn UNR v Thomas Shubert (USA) WR 1513

Jonathan has had a ranking point before, after qualifying then beating Massimo Capone (now ranked around 600) in R1 of a Futures event in Nottingham in 2009 - he then went out 3 & 3 to eventual winner Josh Goodall in R2. That was the only time he has come through Futures qualifying in 15 attempts, though he has come close a few times.

Jonathan also played qualifying here last year, going out in QR1. So you won't be too surprised to find out that he plays tennis for the University of Hawaii - http://hawaiiathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8422

QR1: (wc) Jonathan Brooklyn UNR lost to Thomas Shubert (USA) WR 1513 by 3 & 2

L32: Alex Bogdanovic WR 317 v Tim Smyczek (USA) WR 273 (CH 158 last Feb)

A decent draw for Boggo - he has played Smyczek three times (once in 2007 then last year in qualifying for both Queen's & Tiburon) and won in straight sets (albeit close sets) every time.

Boggo is on Court 6 at not before 11am (one dubs match before which starts at 10am), so that's probably going to be between 9 and 10pm our time right?

Hawaii is 10 hours behind GMT so 11am there will be 9pm here, thus Boggo should be starting between 10 and 11pm.

Is Boggo likely to be sticking mainly to US challengers again this year?

i think so, although he may be back in Europe for Sarajevo and Bath (but he may also try Rimouski that week too so it could depend on where he gets in)

After this he's at Dallas, hopefully he scrap into the MD, then probably give the qualies and San Jose a shot.

That looks about right.  With the 10 hour time difference, the doubles will be due off at 8 pm, and will be just 2 sets plus a possible MTB.  So sometime between 9 pm and 10 pm does seem reasonable.

alex in all sorts of bother here, a set down 6-3, only won 9 points on serve, one of his games was a love break, but he suffered 2 love breaks himself!

Ah, the first match on was evidently a qualifying singles match, which went to 3 sets.

Anyway, the bad news is Boggo has lost the first set  6 - 3  with 3 breaks to 1, with the last 2 breaks against Boggo from  3 - 3  being love games.
