Seeding 11
World Ranking 19
Berdych arrived at Wimbledon ranked seventh in the world 12 months ago, but his failure to successfully defend his title at the Halle warm-up event has caused him to slump to 19th. Having reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final here last year before losing to Rafael Nadal, he has shown he has the game to be a strong outsider on grass. The 2004 Olympic champion, his biggest success on the ATP Tour came at the 2005 Paris Masters.
