The right-hander is looking for his first win at Wimbledon in his fourth appearance in the main draw.

He is one of a batch of young Argentines who are making their mark in the world's top 50.

Gaudio just could not lose in April, taking back-to-back titles in both Barcelona and Mallorca - but they were both on clay, by far his favoured surface.

Former world number one Gustavo Kuerten and current world number one Lleyton Hewitt are among his scalps this year and that is bound to give him some confidence, although grass will be alien to his style of play.
