A shock Australian Open finalist in January, Schuettler clearly enjoys playing on hard courts.

However, his results at the Open in New York have got consistently worse over the years.

A harrier and a chaser, the German is always likely to be overpowered by a powerful server and there is no lack of those in the Flushing Meadow field.
