Blake's best results have always come on the hardcourts of North America, where the pace and bounce suit his impressive forehand. The clay hasn't always been to his liking but the American Davis Cup winner has certainly improved on the surface in the last couple of years. Recently made the last eight in Rome, so should be confident of reaching the second week at Roland Garros for the first time. One further point of interest, Blake has an English mother.
