Evo wins 76 in the third and is now only 6 sets away from a place in the top 100.. #closerthanyouthink

I remember when Boggo was 2 points away from the top 100 hmm

Good to watch, too. I can't say I care for ballbashers, and there are such a lot of them about these days.

Boggo was at 108 after his run at QUEENS I believe

Yes,that would be my recollection too and that's as high as he got. Pushed Roddick to the wire in that tournament.

Evo 2nd on after 3pm tomorrow. Hope it's streamed.

108 was indeed Boggo's CH (see previous page)

Is there a typical spot in the rankings when a player can generally get access to one of the 250 events without qualifying? There's usually a few tournaments every week, so I was wondering if there was such a thing.

If you look on the ATP app on the draw section it will tell you the last direct acceptance ranking

Wonder if Kyle and Beechy will get there in time to give Evo some support tomorrow. Kyle is playing futures in Zagreb next week.

And slowly seems to be improving with the interviews which is always nice to see from a player. Dan has definitely matured big time since the Russian tie in DC and the impact that is having is incredible.

Brilliant, thanks!

This guy is indecipherable. Just don't do Challengers again, please?

It varies a lot from week to week. If there are 3 ATP events in the same week then obviously the cut tends to be lower than if there are only 2. For some 250s it can be around the 70 mark (occasionally higher) but for others top 100 will do.
