THE British No.2 Alex Bogdanovic made an impressive comeback from a set down to defeat Ilija Bozoljac, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4 and qualify for the main draw of the AEGON Championships.
His reward is a first round match on Monday against the richly-talented 19 year-old wild card, Grigor Dimitrov, of Bulgaria.
The first day of the tournament will see a number of British players in action, with wild cards Jamie Baker and James Ward attempting to claim notable victories against 16th seed, Dennis Istomin, and American, Robby Ginepri, respectively.
After those matches, Kei Nishikori takes on Richard Gasquet on the Centre Court, followed by Bogdanovic against Dimitrov, and then the Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie against Scott Lipsky and Sam Querrey in doubles action.
Matches begin at 12.30pm on all courts.
The AEGON Championships will be broadcast live, every day, on BBC Television and Eurosport.
