There are a couple of brits in the qualifying draw. Alex Bogdanovic returns after quite a long rest period (i think he was injured). Before the break boggo was in fine for and won a few titles!!! Big arvs is also in the draw!
(Qualies are the best of 3 sets btw)
Arvind Parmar lost to Wayne Arthurs 6-2 6-7 8-10
Boggo made a meal of the first set, after leading 4-0 he let Saoudi back into it and squandered numerous set points but broke to take the first set 6-3
Bogdanovic wins 6-3 6-3....the possibility of 4 brits in the main draw remains :o ....for now at least...
In round two of qualifying he will face Marcelo Charpentier of Argentina who is 11 years older than him ranked over 600 ranking places below him at 754. :D
