j+m broken straight back :(

al holds to 30, so far max has only on 4 pts on al serve.

max serving 2-3

Mirnyi holds to 15 for 3-3

Stats so far:

Boggo has an excellent 1st serve percentage of 69%, he's hit 2 aces in 3 service games, he's won 82% of points on 1st serve and 60% of points on 2nd serve.

Mirnyi is serving at 78%, he's hit 3 aces, won 79% of points on first serve and 50% on 2nd serve.

Neither has faced bp yet

The best performances of Boggo's career have all come at Nottingham, in 2003 he hit the headlines with a 3 set victory in rd1 over former top 10 player and Wimbledon quarter-finalist, Jan Michael-Gambill. Then in 2004, he successfully blunted the brutal power of hard-hitting Swede Joachim Johansson and served his way to a straight sets victory. He's also reached the final of the grass-court challenger in Nottingham twice [held on the same courts], finishing runner-up in 2004 and winning it in 2005. I think the reason why Alex likes the courts is because they're very fast, the low bounce and speed of the courts suits his serve [which often skids off the court] and his forehand.

Mirnyi has held to 15 for 4-4. Alex won the first point of the game but wasn't able to capitalise

saved a bp, which could well have been a sp. max serving to stay in the set, lets hope he get tight.

Mirnyi serving:

15-0

2nd serve..

15-15

Alex has been able to punish the Mirnyi 2nd serve so far, only problem is, he hasn't got to see many 2nd serves

2nd serve....

Maybe Max is getting tight

15-30

Chance here for Boggo

15-40

Two bps for Alex !!
