| VERDICT |
 |
| It’s feast or famine with temperamental Marat. He was at his brilliant best at the Australian Open back in January where he finished runner-up. But he is also capable of losing to unknowns in the first round. A big serve and powerful all-round game suggest the Russian could go well here, but his volleying is still not the best. Feared by the bookies for his talent, disliked by the punters for his attitude. |
