VERDICT

Owner of possibly the biggest forehand in the game, the Chilean is capable of some spectacular displays - as he proved at this year's Australian Open where he played some scintillating stuff before losing in the final to Roger Federer. His big-hitting game also means his play can be streaky and he's capable of losing to almost anyone. The Chilean has become more consistent over the past 18 months or so, but recent weeks have not been the best for him with a string of early exits on the North American hardcourt swing. One big performance could turn things around, but an early exit looks more likely.
