Bogdanovic recovers to take victory
Alex Bogdanovic will face the winner of the match between Tim Henman and Andy Murray in the second round of the Thailand Open in Bangkok. The 22-year-old British No 4, ranked 148 in the world, lost a first-set tie-break to Yeu-Tzuoo Wang of Taiwan, but responded to win the second and third sets 6-4.
Murray and Henman are due to go head-to-head this morning for the third time this year. The 19-year-old Scot has won the two previous meetings, in Toronto and Cincinnati.
The second seed Marcos Baghdatis has been forced to pull out of the tournament because of a shoulder injury. The Australian Open finalist could be out for up to three weeks - hitting his hopes of playing in the end-of-season Masters Cup.
