Bidding to become the first British winner since Fred Perry in 1936, so no pressure. Buoyed by having won the Queen's grasscourt title at the weekend but could be question mark over whether or not he can cope with the expectations.

Runner-up on grass at Halle last weekend, but immediately wrote off his chances at Wimbledon where last year he was knocked out in the second round by Marat Safin. Has a 4-7 record against Federer and 4-14 when facing Nadal.

Has a game made for grass, but hasn't got beyond the Wimbledon quarter-finals in the last three years. Suspicion is that Federer and Nadal have condemned him to history as a serious Grand Slam contender.
