The next Chris Guccione or Carsten Ball.

Bolt into the qualifying final round after winning his second round, not without a struggle against 1323 ranked, very athletic looking Nathan Pasha, ex Georgia College player. Bolt winning 46, 64, 60.
Pasha disposed of Greg Jones in the first round in straight sets, while Bolt had a bye.
Tough asignment next though for Alex against Alex Kuznetsov.
Good luck Boltie

Boltie makes it look easy in the firsts set, winning it 6-1, but Yank Kuznetsov fights back, snipping the second set in a tie-break, agonisingly close score of 10-12. Ouch - Bolt must have had some match points there.
Now Bolt serving at 2-3 in the 3rd.
Now at 3-4, Bolt serving
Moves on to 4-5, Bolt serving - no bp's so far this set - as tight as - now 5-5.
Kuznetsov serving at 84%, not giving Boltie a look in - now Bolt serving at 5-6.

Com'n Boltie, qualify

3rd set tie-break... Go Bolt, but first blood to Kuznetsov leads 2-0, now 4-1. Bolt holds for 3-4, then Kuzentsov replies to get 3 match points at 6-3. One saved, 4-6.
Nope - another agonisingly close result going the wrong way for poor Alex Bolt, as Kuznetsiv wins the tb 7-4

When caught up in the successes and excitement of the Aussie tennis players that we get to watch frequent the big stage, it can be easy to forget the ones that the dream simply doesn't work out for.

Good luck to Alex, hope he finds a career path that he loves.
