Picks up the majority of his wins on clay, but his confidence took a battering when he was thrashed by Rafael Nadal at the recent French Open. Reached the third round at Wimbledon for only the second time last year and has never been beyond the last 16 of any Grand Slam event. Did reach the final of the warm-up tournament in Nottingham though. Reaching the second week would represent a success.
