Stepanek is not the most popular player in the dressing room by all accounts - 18-year-old Andy Murray pointed that out after beating him here last year - but he is a tenacious performer and always gives it his best shot. He made the final of the Hamburg Masters Series event earlier this year but has never made such an impact at the Slams. With little grasscourt pedigree, Stepanek is only likely to be around in week two to watch girlfriend Martina Hingis.
