For a player who broke a vertebrae in his neck two years ago after a collision with a net post, Blake's resurgence over the past 12 months has been truly remarkable. Played himself back to form on the North American hardcourts in 2005 and has continued where he left off this season. Transferred his fine form to grass at Queen's Club where he shocked defending champion Andy Roddick and made the final to lay down his Wimbledon title credentials. If given the right draw, has to be considered a decent outside bet.
