At 5ft 9in, Grosjean is one of the smaller players on the men's tour but that does not seem to have affected his progress.

The Frenchman had a sensational season in 2001, reaching the semi-finals of both the Australian and French Opens before reaching the final of the Tennis Masters Cup against Lleyton Hewitt.

Although small, he still boasts a lot of power and an exquisite forehand. He will also race for anything around the court.

His current campaign has not proved quite so fruitful yet, although he reached the semi-final stage in both Rotterdam and Monte Carlo.
