Player details
Name Paul-Henri Mathieu
DOB 12/01/82
Nationality FRA
Pre-Tournament Odds 250/1
Became Pro 1999
Seeding 14
World Ranking 16
Mathieu sits proudly in the world's top 20 after an impressive 2007 season which brought him two ATP titles as well as a run to the last 16 here. Still retains a reputation for mental frailty though - something that stems back to the 2002 Davis Cup final when he blew a two-set lead in the deciding rubber. Made the fourth round of the recent French Open but grass isn't his favourite surface. Making the last 16 again would be a decent result.
