Pre-Tournament Odds 200/1

Seeding 26
World Ranking 26
Has one of the most lethal serves in the business, so it's always been something of a surprise that 'Lubo' hasn't done better at Wimbledon, where his best efforts have seen him reach the third round in each of the last two years. Stunned Nikolay Davydenko with a brilliant fightback at the recent French Open, but the former world number three's best performances are few and far between these days.
