It's crazy. He's 27 and this is the 2nd time in his career that he has been in an ATP Tour main draw. He was 4-13 in his last 17 matches (qualies and challengers) before Wimbledon. Can't make this stuff up.
Solid player on grass, knows how to construct points by creating angles and painting the lines. Very skillful with the ball, can manipulate the spin, depth and rhythm. Technically very sound. He's physically very solid with legs like tree trunks.
