Alex Looks For Stateside Gains

Boggo is planning an 8 week series of ATPs and challengers in the USA which will last until mid-April.

After the Wroclaw challenger, he'll play qualifying for ATPs in Memphis and Las Vegas followed by qualifying for the Masters Series event in Indian Wells. Then he plans to compete in the Sunrise super-challenger followed by the Masters series tournament in Miami (the self-styled 5th grand slam).

He'll then play two challengers in Tallahassee and Valencia before returning to Europe for the clay-court season. It's a risky schedule as he'll be playing a lot of ATP qualies and in the past Alex has tended to struggle on outdoor hard tournaments in the USA. It also means that he'll miss the European indoor season, a time of the year where he traditionally has some of his best results. However, I think that Alex realises that in order to get into the world's top 75 and higher, he needs to do better on slower surfaces and so he's decided to compete in a lot more of them this year.
