The next Chris Guccione or Carsten Ball.

Alex beat Adam Feeney 4-6 6-3 Ret in the first round at the Melbourne futures event, disappointing to not see Feeney finish the match out with whatever the problem was I'm not sure but great to see back on the winners list and will play the winner of Klein or Berman.

Alex got probably his best win ranking wise today beating second seed Brydan Klein in what seemed to be a tight 3 setter, 6-3 3-6 6-4. He will play 8th seed Matt Reid who he has lost to the last two weeks in a row, Matt leads the head to head 4-1 I'm pretty sure, carn Alex third time lucky. He is also into the doubles final with Nick Krygios which I'm tipping them to take out quite easily.

Bolty gets his revenge against 8th seed Matt Reid beating him 6-3 6-4, Alex will next play the winner Greg Jones and Stephane Robert. Would be nice to see Jones get through and play Bolt, the two played at the Australian Open together in the doubles where they lost in the second round. A few friends of Alex's said Jones wasn't up to that level and let Alex down, so on that if they meet one another I'm going with Alex in straight. Doubles final is still on later with Kyrgios.

Alex is through to the semi's tomorrow where he will play Samuel Groth, Bolty won today 6-7(7) 7-5 6-4.

Also next week in the Sydney challenger event he will play doubles again with Nick Krygios, so lets hope for a repeat of last weeks future win.

Thanks for the info. I see Bolt as one of the form Australian players, especially when his December is taken into account. Groth will be tough though.

Alex did lose to Groth 7-6 6-4, he will face a Korean I think by the name of Jeong in the first round in Syndey who is ranked about 320 in the world, he has a possible second round meeting with Groth again.

Alex lost first round to Jeong this week 2-6 2-6. He did make the final with Kyrgios in the doubles but lost to Klein and Propoggia 4-6 6-4 9-11.

Alex is having a few weeks off maybe a month not 100% but then he's heading off to Europe.

After making the quarters last week, Bolt is backing up in China F2. Defeated Liang Chi Huang in three sets today. Will play Zhe Li next.

Player at 400 in the world and one he defeated in Hong Kong last year. Completely agree. Should have won but Baluda has beaten him before as well.

Alex just seems to struggle on challengers at the moment. He's still young so the experience will put him in good stead.

Bolts FO experience is short-lived unfortunately as he bows out to Duckworth first round. A great experience for him no doubt, despite the close loss.

An inauspicious year for Bolt to-date - no great stand-out tournaments, so a Fail imo to-date.

He has earned 50 pts tis year, with 90 pts to defend (28 of those between Xmas & New Year).

Looking for a strong 2nd half of the year for Bolt, to be a Pass

Not sure what to make of this year from Bolt. Career high ranking without over playing is a plus however he needs to gain some points quickly to get into US Open quallies. Next year will be when he makes his move in my opinion.

MELBOURNE CHALLENGER

Aussies not fairing well in Melbourne, but this time against a fellow Aussie:
Bolt goes down against James Duckworth (ATP147). Expected, but Bolt did fight back after the rain delay, from a break down in the 1st set to go to the tie-break, but out-gunned there 2-7, and then drops first service game of 2nd set, and not able to get it back, eventually going down to Ducky 67(2) 36.
