Alex Bogdanovic revealed he may call time on his singles career as the Lawn Tennis Association decided "enough is enough" for British tennis' most famous flop.

The 25-year-old made it eight first-round singles losses from eight Wimbledon appearances when he was beaten in straight sets by 20th seed Tomas Berdych.

Bogdanovic has needed a wild card to get into the main draw on every occasion, and according to LTA head coach Paul Annacone he will no longer be recommended to the All England Club for such an entry.

"If you got any of the tennis experts around the world to go and watch Alex hit a ball for an hour, they would agree there are very few people better than him," said Annacone.

"So that begs the question, 'What's the problem?'.
"I wish there was a magic pill that he could take or we could give him to address that problem.

"But Boggo knows the clock is ticking fast and, for Wimbledon, it maybe has stopped for him and he's in only on his own merits now.

"There comes a time when you think enough is enough and I think Boggo probably realises this is his last opportunity."

There was better news for Bogdanovic when he and James Ward reached the second round of the men's doubles with a 6-4 6-4 6-4 win over David Martin and Jean-Claude Scherrer.

The British number three has decided doubles may be where his future lies.

"I had a lot of fun out there and I just realised I can play good doubles," Bogdanovic said. "I think I could be a really good doubles player. I think I might start that route."

He continued: "I've had my chances and unfortunately couldn't take them. Now it's just up to me to work hard and get up there by ranking.
"I think I was British number two for a while and obviously I'm easy to criticise because I'm next after Andy Murray.

"Every time you lose, people are going to say, 'Yeah, he's not going to win another match'."
