oh its like that now is it.

it was a highly informative post.

if you like sheds

and you do.

how do we think boggo will fare against moodie?

Sheddie · administrator

lol all you wrote was "I have a wooden shed"

and you can't have

because you live in a flat

I think Moodie will have too much, Alex will need to serve really well to have a chance....he will get some chances against Moodie but will need to take them this time...at Queens 2 years ago he led 6-3 in the 2nd set breaker and lost it 8-6, at Surby 2003 he levelled at one set all and then ran out of gas in the 3rd

But this is a semi final! Alex isn't allowed to lose in semi finals.

ok, my parents have the shed, but i can use it when i go home, although there is a lot of stuff in it.

i watched that match at queens, moodie was serving bombs that day. but that was 2 years ago. i think al has a better chance now, really depends on how much he has left and how hard is he prepared to push. he might be happy with his recent run and decide no to go all out.

Paul Baccanello/Wesley Moodie (AUS/RSA) d. (WC)Edward Corrie/Jim May (GBR) 6-3 7-6(4)

Well lets hope Moodie realises that and acts accordingly

Bravo to Boggo for getting this far, he's succesfully defended his points and worked through the jetlag so should be pretty pleased with himself I reckon.

i feel sometimes people forget the some people aren't affected by jetlag

Count Zero · Tennis legend

will we have scores updates?

I do hope you are wrong.

To me this idea is just what has been wrong with British Tennis over the years. To get to the top you never have to be satisfied with how far you have got, you need always to want to do better.

This is why I latched onto Andy Murray the first time I saw him play - his fighting spirit and determination to be the best he could be.

So come on, Boggo - win this!

Count Zero · Tennis legend

what i ment was i dont want him to injure himslef in the match. alex seems to get injured after he is playign well, its better to lose 1 match and be ok than over do it and out yourself out for a long time.

Absolutely! I love that stubborn mentality which some tennis players like Andy, Hewitt etc. have.

"My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories."

I have a wooden shed

Sheddie · administrator

you should try sleeping in there sometime johnny, it's a very refreshing experience, you feel close to nature

there are some things which if you haven't tried, life isn't really complete....sleeping rough is one of them
