(30) FILIPPO VOLANDRI

PRE-TOURNAMENT ODDS: 750/1
NATIONALITY: ITA
BIRTH DATE: 05/09/81
BECAME PRO: 1997
WORLD RANKING: 27
VERDICT
Having dropped out of the top 50 after a poor start to the year, Volandri worked his way back into the seedings for Wimbledon with a run to the semi-finals of the Rome Masters, where as a wildcard he beat Roger Federer 6-2 6-4, before making it into the second week at Roland Garros. Both of his ATP Tour titles have come on clay and he has won only one match at Wimbledon, against 301st-ranked Jamie Delgado. An early exit beckons.
