19 Juan Ignacio Chela

DOB:30.08.1979
Nationality:Argentine
World Ranking:22
Previous Wimbledon results:
2001 ::did not play
2000 ::first round
1999 ::did not play
1998 ::did not play

Chela has had a tough battle to get back among the world's best players after he was banned from the game for three months and thrown out of the top 500 for failing a drugs test.

He has come back to the fore on his return this season and is part of a new breed of talent that Argentina has produced in recent years.

His favourite surface is undoubtedly clay although he lost out to Tim Henman in the Tennis Masters Series earlier this season.

His one previous Wimbledon appearance ended in the first round.
