Reached his highest career ranking with a run to the semi-finals of the Hamburg Masters, which was ended by Roger Federer. Other results haven't been so kind to the right-hander from Bolzano, who has yet to register his first career title and has won only five matches in 13 visits to the Grand Slams. Two of those victories have come at Wimbledon, including a straight-sets win over Dominik Hrbaty 12 months ago.
