Wow, absolutely fantastic result for Alex !!!!!!

I was so gutted when Steven said he was 5-2 down especially given that he was a break up earlier in the 3rd,

Great stuff Boggo !!!

Well done Alex, you do really well in tiebreaks dont you!! just like goodall!

steven · Tennis legend

What?? I saw him get broken twice in a row, was that Cilic?

That would explain why Alex came to the net quicker at the end.

If he did win, can we request that he doesn't try to look like his opponent's twin next time?!

Count Zero · Tennis legend

yeah alex had the black bits on his shoes, and clics blue bits on his shirt came down the side further!

steven · Tennis legend

The other thing I don't understand is that in the t/bm the umpire was announcing very quietly but I kept hearing 'ilic' at the end so assumed Cilic must be ahead.

Never happier to have got it completely wrong, if I did get it completely wrong

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i can also spot alex easily by his serve actin as i said before, also, for all you budding boggo spotters out there, look out for the tel tale sign of him blowing his fingers esp whill he is wating for a retun

You must have better eyesight than me then! I think I must have lost it when they changed ends - I wasn't looking at the screen right then.

These matches are tough enough already on the old nervous system, please don't make it worse for us

But Great win in the end though

"ilic sounds quite similar to "ovic" in a german accent.

Defo Boggo who won. Its as clear as day on my stream. Boggo just upped a gear in the tiebreak and got that double break and served it out really confidently
