VERDICT

Five years ago David Nalbandian reached the semi-finals here just a year after making the Wimbeldon final and was tipped to challenge for more Grand Slams in years to come. Although he reached the last four of the Australian Open twice, he has failed to reach the same heights in New York, going out in the last 32 last year. The Argentine underachieved at the three majors so far this season and on current form, it's hard to see him making a real impact here.
