No SE's to fill so unless there are mass withdrawls Boggo looks like would have to play qualies.
I saw him playing Nadal this year Live on TV. Not good memories. Saw a bit of Bratislava, but I am not fond of streams.
Never seen Bloomers and it's pretty unlikely that I'll see him anytime soon unless he plays Federer or Blake or Nadal at Wimbly. Hence I'd much rather go without seeing him...... Don't mind him taking on someone big in the second round though.

You can see Bloomers in action today if you wish
If you go to his official website and the latest news page, m-j-d has uploaded some videos. There's two min of his win against Berlocq at Wimbledon and 5min of his match against Haas in rd2.
Alex is currently 5th on the Chennai alts and 8th on the Adelaide alts.
He says that he's not going to play either tournament unless he gets direct entry into the main draw
Btw, there could have been more withdrawals then those currently known as Jay (poster on steveg who has all the latest inside info on the entry lists) hasn't been around
