| VERDICT |
 |
| Reached a career-high ranking of 15th in 2004, but has never been a genuine contender at any of the Grand Slams. Happiest on slow hardcourts or clay. Chela has a wretched Wimbledon record, winning only two matches in his five visits. Likely to be among the seeds to be packing their bags early. |
