Er, well, the rankings don't lie Boggo!
I agree Joe he is currently 191 when the 120 points for Granby come off 13th July he will be down around no 260 with only 248 points. He will then be no 5 ranked British player.
At the moment you need around 720 points min to be in the top 100. Alex is going to have to have the year of his life and win nearly every challenger he enters for the rest of the year to get there.
He needs to get in the real world he also needs to stop getting wildcards into Wimbledon he does not deserve them.

Im sure I just heard Overend say that Boggo's going to have to qualify next year. Apparently he's been told no more wildcards. Fair enough really. He's taking the piss if he believes he deserves another. There's only one person with a worse record than him and that's some Irish bloke years ago with a played 9 - lost 9 at Wimbly.

About bl**dy time
I'll have a wild card next time, thank you very much! I could hardly do worse, and at least it would be entertaining...

Apparently he's said he's going to concentrate more on doubles in the future.

I'm not sure but I think he means that he's going to play doubles at the events he plays singles at.

"If you got any of the tennis experts around the world to go and watch Alex hit a ball for an hour, they would agree there are very few people better than him," Annacone said.
Bogdanovic faces wildcard threat
Better than Nadal? Federer? A no armed Robby Ginepri?

He is known for being technically sound, and a good hitter of the ball. He just seems to lack in the mental department, big time.

The law of deliberate creation states "That which I give thought to, and that which I believe or expect - Is".
I guess the problem with Bogdanovic is that when the going gets tough, his self belief and resolve disappears. According to the law of creation, this is very bad as it would attract that which his fears and doubts bring up. This means he will more often than not loses against an inferior player who has stronger self belief. Against a good player, he would stand almost no chance unless he has very strong home support to bolster his self belief.
Also, I think he is not fit enough in a 5 sets match.

Tursunov said last week Boggo has a better serve (technically, I think) than Murray but needs to more confident with it.

"Boggo can be an immense talent." That would be more accurate.
