Mariano Puerta
Clay-court specialist Puerta will do extremely well to live up to his high seeding at Wimbledon.
The Argentine arrives in London after a stunning run to the final at the French Open which saw him leap up the rankings.
That incredible performance came less than a year after he completed a nine-month ban following a positive drugs test.
However, the 27-year-old is not exactly at his best on grass.
The left-hander has never won a match on the surface and has lost in the first round on each of his three previous visits to Wimbledon.
He also pulled out of the Wimbledon warm-up event at Queen's with a leg injury he picked up during his Roland Garros defeat to Rafael Nadal.
