Sure, he may not be a power player or have any special significant features
to his game, but he is a good all rounder and, most of all, his form is
fairly consistent.
I rate him a dark horse who may just surprise everyone.

Sure, with Larry Stefanki as his mental wizard - he can win the whole thing.
But wait for next round...

Perhaps a Henman-Rios final would prove your Stefanki theories one way or
the other once and for all ... :  )

The next round will be interesting. We have a competition with my
colleague, where the first part is to pick the 16 men and 16 women who
make the 4th round. In this part of the draw, I picked Rusedski, he
picked Henman. People generally underestimate Rusedski, and say he can
only serve. I don't think many people thought he could beat Scud and
now they think he can't beat Henman.

Well, Hemman beat him just two weeks ago, didn't he ?

Not at all, especially with the big returners (Agassi, Hewitt, Kuerten
and Kafelnikov) gone.

Henman vs Rusedski is 4-2. Greg hasn't beat Henman for three years.
Rusedski has improved and remodeled some aspects of his game, but his
performances are still quite inconsistent. Furthermore, Henman is a player
who returns well, not with so much pace but low and consistently. That won't
bother a good volleyer but Rusedski is just average one. And although
Rusedski has improved his passing shots, I still don't think Henman will
have much problems at the net.
Henman in 4 sets, although I'm sort of rooting for Rusedski, for all
misfortunes he has had last couple of years.
