VERDICT

It's been a great season so far for the big-serving Russian, who recently cracked the world's top 10 for the first time. Arguably it all began here 12 months ago with a surprise run to the semi-finals, one that included victory over Rafael Nadal. Things haven't gone quite so well since the summer hardcourt campaign began but a return to Flushing Meadows should inspire him. If he can find the groove again, Youzhny will be a dangerous outsider.
