However, the 27-year-old should not
be so easliy dismissed, no matter what
the surface.
The man from Buenos Aires has battling
qualities to rival anyone on tour and
can run all day.
One man who has learnt that to his
cost is Tim Henman, who has a 1-5 record
against the Argentine and a habit of
losing to him in Grand Slams.
Wimbledon should prove too much for
Canas, who prefers a high-bouncing ball
to attack, but he has already shown
his potential by reaching the last 16
in 2001.
His form this year has been steady
if unspectacular but a run to the last
eight at Roland Garros will have given
him plenty of confidence.
