Rusedski to face Roddick

The 19-year-old, who came to national prominence with his fighting performance in Great Britain's Davis Cup defeat by Australia in February, squandered six match points but saved four before being edged out 11-9 in the third-set tiebreak.

Bogdanovich won the first set with one break and lost the second on a tie-break, before recovering from a break down in the third to hold three match-points at 5-4 on the Dupuis serve. The British No6's nerve then faltered, though, as Depuis served out before taking the tie-break and the match 3-6, 7-6, 7-6.

Bogdanovich, who saw off Arvind Parmar yesterday, will now prepare for next week's Wimbledon qualifying tournament, but could yet receive a wildcard as reward for his recent good form.

Meanwhile, Andre Agassi has joined Tim Henman in predicting Wimbledon will become another paradise for baseliners this year.

It's a nightmare scenario for Henman, who is one of a dying breed of serve-andvolleyers in a sport that is being played, all too often, from the back of the court. Agassi won the Wimbledon title from the baseline in 1992 and watched a host of similar players reach the last eight of the world's most famous grasscourt championship last year.

The world No2 voiced his concerns after defeating Peter Luczak of Australia 7-6, 6-4 in the first round at Queen's Club - his 1000th match as a professional.

He followed Henman on court after the British No1 was forced to save a match point before accounting for Davide Sanguinetti of Italy 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 to advance to the second round.

Henman then made it clear he would have to play more rallies from the baseline on the slower grass courts that are now seen at this time of the year.

He said: "I am reluctant to get into this debate because it could end up backfiring on me. There's no point complaining - I just have to adjust my game."

Agassi warned: "Tim can make the adjustment but it could also be his curse - switching the way he plays."
