Even in his prime he was a little portly- for an ATP level player.

That fat piece of crap? Impossible to tell from a 0:20 closeup video showing one serve, but I'd venture to say probably 5.0.

OTOH, this guy is a 7.0:

The Georgian Davis Cup captain must have been pretty desperate in 2010.

Ranking #42 singles in July, 2004
Height: 6'2" (188 cm)

So 8 years of nothing turned that slim, hard-hitting guy into the guy in the OP????

If I didn't know who he was, I probably would have guessed 5.0 or 5.5 with a heck of a serve.

He isn't shaped like a normal pro.
