You can't say you've played there without explaining how you ended up doing it! (hint!)

I didn't think you meant you'd played in the tournament. Just had a 'doh' moment as I worked out why you might have gone to Beograd on holiday.

Damn. ITF confiems Troicki is also from Belgrade

there now a piccy of boggo in the media centre on the tournmanet home page, english version and a nice interview:

The British player Alex Bogdanovic has successfully started this years challenger at the TC Gemax (prize fund of 106.500 euros). He defeated the German Dominik Meffert in the first round, with 6:4, 6:4.

"Im not quite satisfied with my todays performance. My serve was excellent, so I didnt have too many problems in the match against Meffert. I have just returned from the Davis Cup in Argentina and Im still tired. We had been playing outside, on the clay, and now Im here, in the hall and on the fast surface, so I have not been thinking about the final rank on the Tournament. Now Im focused on the next match, which I will be playing against Troicki (SER) or Kim (USA)" said Bogdanovic, who had already played against the American, but has never met the Serbian player in an official match.

Alex was playing the Semi-Finals at Gemax three years ago. "Its so nice to be here again, at Gemax, in Belgrade. I have a lot of friends here, many supporters. I feel comfortable and its a wonderful experience to play here, it's a real enjoyment."

Bogdanovic hasnt been in London since November. For the season of 2008 he had prepared in Florida. After the USA he travelled to Australia, where he took a part in the Qualifying for the first Grand Slam in this season. Before he arrived in Serbia, he played for the Davis Cup team of Great Britain against Argentina. Next week Bogdanovic will be playing a challenger in France. That will be the first time he will be working with his new coach, Brad Gilbert.

"We are starting next week. Brad and I will be working together 20 weeks during the season. The British Tennis Association has a contract with Gilbert, they cover all the expenses, and I believe that the cooperation will be successful and that the work with Brad will bring me some good results. Last year I had a good start of the season I climbed to the 108th place on the ATP list after my good performance at the Queens Tournament in London. Soon after the Wimbledon, I had a back injury which cost me the other part of the season and the fall on the ATP list. My this years goal is to enter the worlds top 100, but the most important thing is my health."

Serbia and Great Britain are potential rivals in the Davis Cup play-off for filling up the World Group. "If the Draw decides that we really should meet in September, I think that it is going to be a very difficult match. Serbia has an excellent team Nole is playing unbelievably, Janko and Zimonji continue with their good performance, Troicki is getting better and better...I think that no one from the British team would like to have Serbia for opponent" said Bogdanovic.

Good interview there, Boggo appears to have spoken whole paragraphs!! It's obvioulsy your interview technique that makes him uncomunicative Count
