VERDICT

The Chilean has arguably the best forehand in the game and is a tremendous player to watch. A change of coaches midway through last season prompted a superb run of form and 'Gonzo' was one of the tour's top performers in the second half of the year. He failed to win a title in 2006 but did make his first Masters Series final (in Madrid). Capable of making waves here if he continues where he left off, but be warned - the Chilean's game is capable of collapsing at any moment.
