Andy Roddick - The most exciting player emerging from America. They say he's awesome and he is. Left Paris injured playing Hewitt but while he was there demonstrated a fighting instinct and a huge game that if it matures could dominate tennis. Still a teenager he recorded the fastest serve at Roland Garros.

Lleyton Hewitt - The full metal jacket Australian has just won Queens for the second time. More in the Agassi mould than the big serving type, Hewitt as the reactions and the ground strokes to upset anyone. Seeded five and therefore protected for the first week.

Marat Safin - Prepare for heavy sighs and broken racquets but if the six foot three inch fourth seeded Russian can find his game and head in equal measure he will do damage. A back injury held him back in Paris. He's now over that.
