AUSTRALIAN OPEN MEN'S PROFILES

(8) David Nalbandian
PRE-TOURNAMENT ODDS:	25/1
NATIONALITY:	ARG
BIRTH DATE:	01/01/82
BECAME PRO:	2000
WORLD RANKING:	8

VERDICT

A player who has still to make the most of his talent, Nalbandian has a fine record at the opening Grand Slam event of the season. He's made at least the last eight in each of the last four seasons but is yet to play in the final. Happy to run all day, Nalbandian is unlikely to have the crowd on his side after a run-in with Aussie Lleyton Hewitt here two years ago. That's if he makes it to the start line - a knee problem forced him out of the recent exhibition event at Kooyong.
