If you get to the Davis Cup in Birmingham early or stay late one day, you might get to see a possible future American star practice, Alex Domijan. (The other U.S. practice partner is Amer Delic, the 137th ranked player in the world who pushed Novak Djokovic to the third round in the Australian Open.)

Here is what Patrick McEnroe has to say about Domjian on the blog he keeps during Davis Cup weeks.

“I’m really excited about Domijan’s potential. He’s a 17-year-old from Wesley Chapel, Fla. and currently ranked No. 1 in the boys’ 18s and No. 14 in the ITF World Junior Rankings. He reached the semifinals at the Orange Bowl and won the Eddie Herr last year.

He plays a very good game – he’s solid all-around. He needs to work on his serve. It’s something that we’ve already been working on together. I really like his attitude. He seems very professional and I think he’s very driven and I like the way he plays. He’s got a good solid game and moves pretty well for someone his size (Domijan is 6 feet 7 inches tall). He’s definitely shown us something this week.

I’ve noticed that with his shot selection, he doesn’t go for too much if its not there. He’s technically very sound and has good hands at the net. He seems to do everything well. He’s seventeen, so obviously he’ll get stronger and thicker as he grows into his body.”
