Britain’s No.2 Alex Bogdanovic takes on Tomas Berdych in the first round at Wimbledon on June 23 (13:15 Start) and you can view the match live at Bet 365.
Time is surely running out for Alex Bogdanovic, who has failed to make any impact whatsoever on the men’s circuit since turning professional. The Yugoslavian born player is participating in this year’s event after receiving yet another wildcard, and he is bidding to win at SW19 for the first time in his eight year career.
Bogdanovic was famously criticised by Andy Murray last year, when the Scot blasted the standard of the British players, with the exception of himself. Bogdanovic will be trying once again to finally silence his critics, but he won’t have an easy task against Tomas Berdych, who is a good match player, with five career titles and a Wimbledon Quarter final to his name. If Bogdanovic fails to impress again this year, the conclusion that he may just not be good enough will certainly be a valid one.
Berdych is a strong favourite at 1/7 with Bet 365 to progress, with Bogdanovic a clear underdog at 4/1. Bogdanovic tends to start his matches fairly well, but is known for dropping his head when the going gets tough. Therefore, the Brit may well take a set off Berdych and that is a 5/2 chance.
