Oh, I hadn't realised today's match was streamed (probably a good thing!) - well done to the Bogster who will now move above Jamie Baker to be GB no. 3 on Monday.

If he goes two rounds further than Wardy this week, he'll become head scapegoat (aka GB no. 2) again for the first time for a while. Hard to see him beating Harrison though, even if in beating Krajicek, he has already beaten one player this week who won their last tournament!

From what I have seen of Harrison he is quite "hit-and-miss" and inclined to self-combust. If he has a "miss" day, Alex should stand a decent chance.

Regrettably, he seems to be showing a bit of form at the moment: he won the Savannah Challenger last week & he's also the highest seed left in the Tallahassee draw after Michael Russell crashed out in straight sets (6-7(6) 3-6) against the Korean ALT, Suk-Young Jeong, earlier... hmm

Harrison just about edged Taro Daniel in a 3rd set breaker, so...

QF:  (4) David Rice & Sean Thornley WR 417 vs Christian Harrison & Michael Venus (USA/NZL) WR 523

Am I correct in thinking that this is the first time the boys have been seeded in a Challenger tournament?

Harrison's game is a complete mess at the moment. He is a talented kid but seems to have little idea what he wants to do on a tennis court and his confidence looks very low. So yes, if Boggo plays well he is in with a shout.

Taro is most comfortable on the clay though and only turned 20 in the last few months so I believe he is capable of playing above his ranking. Still bodes well for Boggo but the downside is that a tight win might do wonders for Ryans short-term confidence.
