Boggo in same quarter as top seed the Gooch! WR 251, alot of MTF posters will be mouth-watering at the prospect of that tie

A bit unfortunate all three Brits getting seeds in R1 (a 1 in 36 chance), but at least the two DAs have 1-0 H2H records:

- Boggo beat Borvanov 6-4 4-6 6-3 at the Andrézieux Challenger in 2007
- Baker beat Klaasen 7-6(6) 6-3 at the Knoxville Challenger in 2009

yeah it;s a shame, but I guess with the rankings dropping it's more likely.

Klaasen's has played a number of 'top' players this year in 'Bash, Matosevic twice, Somdev and Riba (wr71) ok he lost them all but it's a higher level, he's got wins over ram 188 and viola 201 this year.

Borvanov 'sw on a futures this year and has lost to a few decent guys like Kim, Kendrick , Kuznetzov and istomin, but i don't think he's beaten a top 400 guy either. so of the 2 i'd probably say Boggo had more chance.

Surely guys more a bit of a statistical oddity rather than a real issue of concern that all 3 have drawn seeds or has the summit of Boggo's and Jamie's aims become to make sure they get through at least one round of a future and earn the whole one point that comes with that !   I'm thinking it has not.

OK, Matthew no doubt would have preferred an easier draw but re Boggo and Jamie, if the seedings worked out they'ed be due to play a seed in one of the first two rounds anyway and they have actually got lower seeds, not that there's a huge deal in it generally rankingswise.

Plus with Boggo on hard/grass, it's a lottery when he's up against anyone between 50 and 1000, so it doesn't matter too much. smile.gif

That's all very true, though doesn't change the fact that 3/3 drawing seeds in R1 is quite unlikely. As you say though, it should be no big deal (or maybe even an advantage) for Boggo and Baker if they have any designs on getting back to where they used to be and beyond, especially since they both lead the H2Hs with their R1 opponents.

Boggo's ranking is really down to the lack of events he's played, 4 this year only, and 6 total since his back went at the USO.
Of course his ranking drop makes things tougher as he's missing entry cuts.

Looks like the rain has caused the singles matches to be delayed until Wednesday morning.
