Capdeville bt Bogdanovic 6-3, 6-3

British no 3 Alex Bogdanovic was left to rue missed chances as he slipped to a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 defeat to Chilean 6th seed Paul Capdeville in the first round of qualifying for ATP Memphis.

Bogdanovic served extremely well but only converted 1/11 break points. He had several chances at the start of the first and third sets but failed to take them and Capdeville was able to capitalise on a couple of sloppy service games, midway through each set.
