Srichaphan is one of his country's most famous celebrities and is also a huge favourite with crowds around the world.

Last year, the 24-year-old became the first Asian to break into the world's top 10 - winning two titles in all and reaching four semi-finals.

He first made a name for himself at Wimbledon in 2002 when he put out Andre Agassi and his career has been on an upward spiral ever since.

The talented right-hander has a powerful game and relishes the grass.

He began the European clay-court season with two straight defeats and bowed out of the French Open with a second-round defeat to clay-court specialist Alex Corretja.

At Wimbledon he has promised to deliver a lot but fallen just short on each occasion.

Last year he reached the fourth round - his career best - before losing to Andy Roddick.
