Looking good at the moment, I heard hes going to south America to play some futures qualies other there. Should learn a lot about touring and the full mens game while hes out there. South America is a pretty hard place to tour.

Baker should be seeded first in qualies if hes not in the MD

Yeah serve really let him down, the most dissapointing thing is that he has a few wins this season against top 100 players, he seems to be letting himself down against the lower ranked players. Its a trend that needs to be nipped in the bud. As i understand boggo may stick in America and go for qualies which andy is playing in. Boggo has just split up with his coach and peter lungren is very impressed with Boggos play so i think the general idea is to either let Alex tour with Brad and Andy or let Peter Lungren become boggo's full time coach, either one is a good deal for boggo imo!!!

Aucks and Huss last up on centee court in there R1 dubs match!!!

Baker - Odesnik 7:6(5) 1:6 6:4

Jamie's in the final to play Michael Russell, Baker stands in the way of russell gettinga 3rd consecutive challenger title

Final is tomoro

Bloomers/Haase lose on the championship tie-break in the final

Oger/tourte (Fra)(2) bt Bloomfield/Haase(GBR/NED) 67, 7-5 12-10

Fort i'd bring this back seeing as thats its easier then creating a topic for a challenger which is almost done anyway
Just for ti would write a little bout jamie Baker, Who promises this year to be his breakout year has started it in the rite way, by reaching the semis of the challenger event in waikoloa.
he had to come through qaulies but did that with ease

Bye in the first round
Jamie Baker GBR [2] beat Jim Thomas USA | 6-2 6-3 ( 2nd Round Qualy)
Jamie Baker GBR [2] beat Chris Wettengel USA [7] | 6-4 7-5 (2rd and Final Qualy)

The he had beaten players in the main draw ranked much higher then him!!
Baker def. Oudsema 64 63 (1st Round)
(q)Jamie Baker (GBR) d. (q)John Paul Fruttero (USA) 7-5 6-4 (2nd Round)
Jamie Baker (GBR, Q) d. Sergei Stakhovsky (UKR) 4-6 7-5 7-5

He now play Wayne Odesnik, and with the run hes having i wouldn't put him past it to make the final!!! To win he would probably have to  beat Michael Russell whos going for his 3rd Challenger in a row!!!

He'll get like 30 points at t the moment for a semi-final birth, easily the most points he has ever won in a week, and this should take his ranking safely into top 300. unfortunately  this run means he won't be active next week.

In other news Alex Bogdanovic will be the only British Hope in an ATP event after Mackin and Aucks lost first round qualy's this afternoon, both in three sets.
Boggo plays a qaulifier for the right to be in the same group as James Blake and Robert kendrick which is a perfect oppurtunity to get bitched twice in one week lol, or become a bit of a hero .
Doubles haven't been drawn yet but i expect Jame Murray to be in Zagreb and Aucks to be in Delray beach main Doubles draw.
Bloomfield is into his first challenger final after an impressive run in Wrexham, Also has made the final of the doubles, result will soon be available once i get it on the actual topic for the challenger!!!
Lots Of Brits in future action this week, highlights being imo Morgan Phillips in Spain and Ian Flanagan in India

Mackin should be very dissapointed in that, should have at least beaten is first round opponent, however Aucks can be pleased with his performance. At least he can now concentrate on his doubles this week.

that was so weird, Mackin and Aucks lost at exactly the same moment

Breakers and its 2-6 against Aucks
four match points for Giraldo

saved 1 on Giraldos serve 3-6
Saved anova 1 4-6, Mackin just saved a match point

Match Point!!!!!.............gah not taken

Break Point!!!, cmon James, we need an Ace.

Ahhh he breaks back, doh!!!

Aucks saves 5 match points at 4-5 to level it up!!! on serve still in both matches in the third

Then Breaks for oppurtunity to serve for the match, hopefully serving standard will keep up!!

Mackin has pulled a set back against his opponent

I think is my calculations are right, that its 180, which means hes Britains new number 4!!

U can cantch both Brits in Qualies on the live score now, both have lost the first set.
Aucks is coming back strong tho and has taken the second 6-1 , Mackins second set is going with serve at 2-3
