Not much going on today in Boggo -land. Dlouhy won, and disappears off the top of the table.


All the action will be this evening & tonight: Next up: Berlocq and Bozoljac

Just to be nudged back on, as Pashanski moves off the top in his turn.


Table updated for close of play in Europe.


Lots of pins required overnight!

I'm away for 3 days, so I shall have to let my voodoo sister do all the pin-sticking. Go, Imoen! (and make a better job of it than I have done recently!)

It went as well as could be expected last night.  The table's updated:


 RobC wrote:






Lu & Querrey in Busan, who both need to reach the final to overtake Alex, but would meet in the semis first.  Lu  plays local wildcard Jun, Querrey plays Goldstein in the Quarters tomorrow morning.  So the ideal scenario is for Goldstein to take out Querrey tomorrow & Lu on Saturday.




Goldstein Strategy Part 1 Achieved: Querrey went out last night.  Lu,  unfortunately didn't and is now just 3 points behind Alex. Hopefully Goldstein can do the business for us tomorrow morning.

So today's targets are : Berlocq & Bozoljac, then Lu & Querrey overnight.


If you've some spare animosity, please direct it at Dlouhy, Waske, Pashanski and Kim to stop them putting too much distance between themselves & Boggo.




Berlocq got through . Bozoljac was knocked out


Ahead of Alex, Delic  motors on - he's on fantastic form at the moment. Waske  wins his Eckental R2, and Kim  is knocked out


So the remaining threats are:


Lu in Busan (see above), who'd be the first to overtake  overnight tonight.


Kubot in Bratislava, who also needs to reach the final. He plays Koubek today, then probably Dlouhy or Luzzi on Saturday.


Berlocq in Buenos Aires, who again needs to reach the final. He plays Canas (yes that Canas!) in the QF this evening, and then Di Mauro or, Marin in the Semi.


Zib in Bratislava needs to win the tournament. He'll face Cervenak this afternoon, then Sluiter or Mertinak, then the finalist from Dlouhy, Kubot & Koubek's half in the final.


All four could overtake, so that's a worst case 124th at the end of the week for Alex.

Oh No! I'm going away for a few days as well. I still have a little bit of time so I'll set all the dolls up and stick the pins in I just won't be able to wiggle them around during matches! Hopefully it will be enough


So if Boggo is overtaken by anyone else this weekend you will all know that you really shouldn't get in the bad books of either of us!!

Kubot's two breaks up against Koubek in Bratislava *5-2 and 30-15 to the Pole.


If you've any extra pins, twist them now!

Kubot won and joins Lu just 3 points behind Boggo. He'll play Dlouhy or Luzzi next

I thought that Koubek would beat Kubot quite easily given how well he plays in sets 1 and 3 against Carlsen. However, Koubek was simply dire today, he made so, so many unforced errors. Everytime he tried to up the pace or attack a short ball he netted the shot. Kubot didn't really have to do anything. He just patiently rallied from the baseline, hitting percentage shots straight down the middle until Koubek slammed it out or into the net.

All in all as good a weekend as Alex could expect


Goldstein did the business and knocked Lu out for us..  Kubot was knocked out by Dlouhy in Bratislava. Berlocq by   Canas in BA, and Zib  by Cervenak in BRatislava.


- those special "away for the weekend" pins are pretty potent - all of em lost, & Zib by a walk-over.


Waske, ahead,  was knocked out in the QF at Eckental. Delic in the semis in Nashville.


Dlouhy rose off the top of the table again thanks to beating Kubot for us.


So Alex stays at 120!

Bravo!


Looks like Madeline and I should go away for the weekend more often. Hopefully Boggo will give us a hand this week and start moving back up the rankings, it's his turn to win again Sluiter surely! (the Sluiter doll is all ready, the pins are in so he should have a very unrestful night's sleep )
