The biggest server in the game - Roddick has slammed one down at 155mph - will always be a threat on the grass of SW19. However, after two final appearances in 2004 and 2005 you feel his best chance may have gone. Has fallen behind the 'big three' of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, although he did finally end his hoodoo against the former by beating him in Miami this year following 11 straight losses. A recent shoulder injury can't have helped his preparation and for once he failed to capture the Queen's title. A second-week exit looks likely for the 'A-Rod'.
