negative I'm afraid. Losing 3-0 in 1st set,then retired, don't know,guess back flared up? Very,very gutted, don't know if this is it for this season,feeling v.gloomy. Baker and Cavaday into 3qr.

Alex is down as a hitting partner for Davis Cup,which should be a good workout for his recovery.

Yeh would be good practise for him as much as the davis cup guys, hopefully he'll perform well in the last month or two to catch up on his ranking, disapoited that hes missing the Davis Cup but at least John Lloyd has said Alex's still part of his plans when he recovers.

Alas,Boggo has pulled out this week,but this may be a blessing in disguise,because he deserves a well earned break,and recuperate from injury,hopefully mentally and physically tougher.

Boggo is pretty much fully recovered now, back to full training which is good.
his next event is straight after the DC, an indoor challenger in france.
in the past Alex has enjoyed his best results on indoor courts so lets hope he can get straight back into the groove and win some matches.
At the moment it looks unlikey Alex will have any active role in the next DC tie, he isnt planning on playing dead rubbers if they come up ( as he would head to france to prepare as soon as he could)
