| VERDICT |
 |
| The reigning champion is again the man to beat. Undoubted world number one at present and a player who really can serve and volley. Used that tactic to good effect last year when he banished doubts over his big-match temperament. Has since also won the Australian Open, although he did flop in the recent French Open. Still, his natural talent shone through on the grass in 2003 and should do so again this time around. |
