Llodra's playing 6th seed Tipsarevic in rd1 which is good news for Alex. Llodra's game is very well suited to fast indoor courts but Tipsarevic did very well indoors earlier in the year, winning Belgrade, beating Llodra along the way.

Hartfield is more worrying, he's the top seed in Quito so is quite likely to make the quarters bar a major upset. Here's hoping though.

Moodie wins - we're obviously missing Bethan's talents with the pins here.

Alex is down one more to 143. Greg's down another one to 145.

Hartfield, though does the decent thing and goes out in round 1 in Quito.

Edit: Lu goes out in Tokyo R2 to Robredo. Alex will be at least 135th if he wins today.

Luckily Moodie will go no further as he faces a certain R Federer in rd3.

That's a big shock with Hartfield going out so early in Quito, I certainly didn't expect that. Very handy aswell with Boggo struggling early on against Sluiter

Wang's also helped out: he's knocked out of Tokyo by Tursunov.

Alex will definitely match his best ranking of 134th if he wins now. If Llodra loses, he would be up at 133rd.

The table's updated. Alex is up to 133rd!!

Wang, Lu, Llodra and Harfield all go out. As does Carlsen ahead.

If Alex could win his next match (against Vliegen or Wouters),on Friday, then he'll be up to 128th, or 129th if Moodie beats the Fed.

Yay! Boggo is number 3. Finally. Sorry I've not know who to put pins in this week as no internet connection.

I have been sending the positivity to Boggo though and that seems to be paying off so I'll carry on. I want to come back next week and find he's won the tournament please.

we'll do our best. could you think negative thoughts about Belgians in general please (Vliegen, Rochus, Rochus & whoever the wildcard is that Vliegen's playing)

Here's what's possible for Boggo this week:

If he wins the tournament in Mons, he can advance to a best- case 108th.

Dlouhy (if he reaches R2, Mons), Muller (QF, Mons), Waske & Novak (QF, Tokyo), Moodie (SF, Tokyo) can overtake, so worst case he drops to 113th.

If he reaches the final, he can advance to a best case 119th.

Novak (QF, Tokyo) and Moodie (SF, Tokyo) can overtake, so worst case he drops to 121st.

If he reaches the Semi, he can advance to a best case 128th.

Moodie (QF, Tokyo) can overtake, so worst case is 129th.

If he loses in the Quarter final, then he's safe at 133rd - a new career high, for the week.

Moodie lost 1 and 2 to the Fed Express!!!!!

The table's updated. Boggo's the only man left standing!!!

Moodie went out. So Alex is guaranteed 128th if he wins tomorrow (against the very tired winner of the three setter in action now), and will be in the top 120 if he makes the final.

Andy's nemesis, Jiri Novak is still there ahead of him, but otherwise, all the places are there for the taking: everyone else between 100 and 160 is out of action.

Edit: he plays Wauters!!!!! not Vliegen.

Looks like the negative thoughts at Vliegen worked! So I'll just pile them all onto Wauters now. Go Boggo!

RobC · All-time great

Boggo moves to WR128!!!!!

119 possible if he wins tomorrow.

RobC · All-time great

The table's now extended up to WR115, so we can see where Boggo gets to (119) if he beats Chiudinelli tomorrow. Chiudinelli himself arrives at the base of the table.

will the next table be only Boggo's table not Greg?
