Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Bogomolov Jr. (Russian: Александр Александрович «Алекс» Богомолов, born April 23, 1983), nicknamed Bogie, is a Russian-American retired professional tennis player.
Bogomolov's father, Alex Sr., was a former Soviet national tennis coach who worked with Larisa Neiland, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, and Andrei Medvedev. Born in Moscow, Russia, the 5' 10" Bogomolov was the no. 1 ranked USTA player for the 18s section in 2000 , and had a career-high ranking of world no. 33 on October 31, 2011.
In 1998, Bogomolov won the USTA National Boys' 16 Championships, defeating Andy Roddick in the final.
He was the first player to be beaten by David Nalbandian in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament, at the 2001 US Open.
In 2005, he was suspended for 1.5 months due to a positive doping test during the Australian Open. The banned substance found was salbutamol, which Bogomolov admitted taking through an inhaler to treat exercise-induced asthma. However, he had not filed the proper paperwork and was not covered by an exemption. The tribunal found that since he had not intentionally taken the drug in an effort to boost his performance, the usual two-year ban did not apply. He lost the prize money and ranking points earned at several competitions.
