Didn't he do well in a tournament on clay prior to the French, only to go out in the first round?
Yep. He beat Djokovic in the Rome 1000 final for his first Masters win, then bombed in Paris to Verdasco (couldn't remember who he lost to; had to look that up!)
His best performance in a major was Wimbledon last year - round 4 - yet he's at #4 in the world. When he gets his act together in the majors - and I'm sure he will - he's a good bet for #1 in the next couple of years. I hope so, anyway. It'd be nice to see a new face at the top.
