VERDICT

Has one of the most lethal serves in the business but that is slowed by the clay so it was a big surprise to see the Croatian reach the semis here last season. It was the first time he had made a big impact on the red stuff at this level - his poor movement has been a problem in the past - but he will do well to repeat the feat 12 months on. Clay results haven't been great so far this term and it would be no great surprise to see 'Lubo' fall early.
