Nationality USA
Pre-Tournament Odds 100/1
Became Pro 1999
Seeding 9
World Ranking 8
Blake has an English mother - a fact that's sure to be pointed out whenever he's on court - but that doesn't mean he's a lover of the grass. The American is a hardcourt expert and he has rarely performed to such a high level on the other surfaces. Loves the reliable bounce the hard surface brings, so won't be too enamoured by the lawns of SW19. Did make the semi-finals in Halle recently though so should bring some confidence with him to London.
