I was wondering that myself.

He won Dubai and the SAP this year. But he's made it to the third rounds and further in every tourny he's played this year (sorry for the poor grammar) minus today's effort at Wimbledon.

Blake has always had a lot of potential. Unforunately, I don't see him winning a Grand Slam. I think his best chance was that amazing game with Agassi a few years back at the US Open (I forget if that was the Semis or Quarters). It's probably one of the best matches I've ever seen. Blake is strong in three set matches, but struggles in five setters. That has always hindered him from getting to the next level.
