Nationality ARG
Pre-Tournament Odds 28/1

Seeding 7
World Ranking 7
It's now six years since an unheralded Argentine by the name of David Nalbandian reached the Wimbledon final. Since then Nalbandian has climbed as high as third in the world rankings, but his loss to Lleyton Hewitt remains the only Grand Slam final appearance on the CV. Has struggled over the past two years and although brilliant Masters Series wins in Madrid and Paris last autumn suggested he was back to his best, this year results have been inconsistent. One high seed who could be in early trouble.
