Born: 1/5/82 Nationality: Spanish Seeded: 13 World ranking: 13 Wimbledon best: 3rd round (2003) Recent record: 2004: 2nd round 2003: 3rd round 2002: 1st round

Tommy Robredo grew up playing on his local hard courts but, like many Spaniards, prefers clay and it is no surprise he has yet to cause a stir on grass

His Wimbledon best to date is the third round, which he achieved in 2003.

Though well established in the top 20, the 23-year-old is still waiting for his big breakthrough.

His overall Grand Slam record is underwhelming, having only got past the last 16 on two occasions - a quarter-final spot at the French Open in 2003 and 2005.

Robredo looked on course to make the last four at Roland Garros this year but lost a five-set thriller to Nikolay Davydenko.

Elsewhere this year, the Barcelona-based star has enjoyed most success on his favourite surfaces.

He reached the semi-finals on the hard courts of the Dubai Open in February and made it to the final of Estoril Open on clay.
