i'll go for alex, his results haven't been stunning as such, and he haasn't pulled off any great wins like b4, but i think this is the 1st time he has reach 3 concesutive QF's and after so much traveling in between, so its great to see that lvl of consistency from him. He has also eclipsed the great bigs arvs ranking wise.
just a minor correction in that is was valenica not tallahasse.

Been searching all over the place for British Tennis results and was gettting a little unsatisfied with Steve G when this messageboard turned up. Brilliant.
Boggo is finally playing consistantly so he gets my vote
I was tempted to vote for Dan Evans, because he does seem to be doing very well, but 3 challenger QFs surely a bigger achievement than winning a junior event. So I vote Boggo!
Also, I want to second JohnnyLad's comments - this board is superb. Well done David/Peter! ...and the moderators!
Hi Johnnylad, welcome to this site, I hope you enjoy reading and posting here.
I also voted for Boggo, it's great to see him having some success on outdoor hard and getting a RG seeding was great. I was also tempted by Dan Evans but it had to be Boggo.
Thanks akhenaten, pleased that you like the site so much
I couldn't make my mind up between Dan Evans and Boggo - after all, winning a junior tournament is the very best you can do at that level - but I'll be swayed by the rest of you and go for Boggo.
