DOB 20/09/81
Nationality SPA
Pre-Tournament Odds 300/1
Became Pro 1997
Seeding 31
World Ranking 35
Unusually for a Spaniard, Lopez tends to go well on slick surfaces where his big serve can earn him plenty of cheap points. Has had more joy at Wimbledon than anywhere else Grand Slam wise - he was the man who ended Tim Henman's career here 12 months ago - but it's now five years since he was still around for the second week. Now aged 26 he has never reached the last eight of a major and after four straight first-round defeats, time and form are not on his side.
