| VERDICT |
 |
| The Dutchman created shockwaves by reaching the final of the recent French Open. He used his big serve to beat some of te best claycourters around - and that duly saw him tipped as a real threat at Wimbledon. If he brings that king of form to Britain, he has to be considered a dangerous outsider. |
