| VERDICT |
 |
| A solid all-round player whose one tour title last season came on clay in Gstaad. Prefers the slower courts as he showed when pushing eventual French Open winner Gaston Gaudio to five sets in Paris. Yet to make the second week in SW19 and you suspect it will take a soggy week one if he is to do so this year. |
