Feisty Australian who can never be discounted, he was looking close to his old self before injuries disrupted his claycourt season.
Won admiration for a gutsy display in defeat by Federer at the quarter-final stage at 2004's Wimbledon. He displayed his hardwork at last year's Wimbeldon too by reaching the semi-finals.
Allies a never-say-die attitude with tremendous ground strokes, notably a superb service return that unsettles even the best of serve-volleyers.
The 2005 Australian Open runner-up has not won a slam since his success at the All England Club in 2002 but should be a real contender this year.
