If you enjoy cheering for the underdog, than Alex Bogdanovic is your man. Alex finished last year ranked No. 230 in the ITF Junior World Rankings. His biggest Grand Slam achievement before this Summer was making it to the Round of 16 at the Australian Open. Though he won the Uruguay Bowl and was a finalist at the Citta Di Prato, Alex was hardly considered a threat to the top juniors. All of that changed when he stepped out on the court in Flushing Meadow this month.

In the first round of the Junior Boys Championships, Alex Bogdanovic defeated top American junior Josh Cohen, 6-4,6-2. As he continued to round 2 -- where he eliminated No. 12 seed Frank Dancevic -- people started to take notice. No one was sure exactly where he came from when he overpowered the eight seed Bruno Echagaray in two sets. When he made his way to the semifinals with another upset over third-seeded Brian Dabul, ... it was clear to everyone that this kid's time had come.

Melanie South, 21, and Alex Bogdanovic, 23, lost their quarter-final against the reigning Australian Open champions Elena Likhovtseva and Daniel Nestor 6-3 (7-6), 7-4. The Britons came into this quarter-final with every reason for optimism, having beaten the world No.1 pairing of Mike Bryan and Lisa Raymond on their way to this match. But Nestor and Likhovtseva make a fearsome pairing. Doubles legend Nestor, now a 34-year-old veteran, has 48 career doubles titles under his belt, and Likhovetseva already has a Wimbledon mixed crown to her name, having taken the 2002 title with Mahesh Bhupathi.

Perhaps Alex Bogdanovic was unnerved by the occasion, a Davis Cup match in front of an excitable crowd who whistled, shrieked and threw paper darts, and he played some ordinary tennis against Israel yesterday. It was the manner of his defeat, not just the result, that must have been discouraging for the British team.
