I must say i am not sure whether he will be able to play at the high level again.I really hope he can because at his best he was quality
Although he reached the SF he did not beat a player in the top 25 and played moderately aggressive.
If he is to challenge he must be agressive.

Rusedski slumps to Santoro defeat
Rusedski was playing his first event since the birth of his daughter
Greg Rusedski suffered a comprehensive defeat to Fabrice Santoro in the second round of the Open 13 in Marseille.
The 32-year-old beat qualifier Nicolas Thomann on Tuesday but found Santoro a far more difficult proposition.
Rusedski quickly fell behind and France's Santoro, who reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final in Australia last month, eased to a 6-3 6-2 win
I just couldn't take the chances when I had some break points," said Rusedski, the British number two.
"Fabrice is a very difficult opponent who mixes it up very well.
"But I haven't played for two and a half months. I have to be pleased so far and I feel I can get better still, so that's a good sign."

Henman hoping to make Rotterdam
Tim Henman hopes to overcome a nagging back problem and line up against Thomas Johansson in Rotterdam next week.
Henman suffered the problem in Zagreb last month and was forced to pull out of last week's Marseille Open.
"It was frustrating to not be able to play in Marseille but I'm hopeful I'll be able to play in Rotterdam," he said.
Fellow Briton Greg Rusedski will open his campaign against Robin Vik, while Andy Murray remains in the USA where he takes on Rainer Schuettler in Memphis.
Henman has been drawn against former Australian Open champion Johansson in the first round in Rotterdam, while Rusedski takes on unseeded Czech Vik

Mighty service helps Rusedski to beat Vik
In addition to being left-handed, Greg Rusedski has an exceptionally fast service. It’s a combination that makes him a powerful opponent. Too powerful for Robin Vik at any rate. The Czech was literally blasted off court earlier this afternoon: 6-3, 7-5
In keeping with the rest of the contest, Rusedski ended the match with an ace - his ninth in total. It must have been a frustrating experience for Vik, who is one of the five Czechs to play in the tournament. He was barraged with high-speed serves throughout the match, some of which breached the 220 km/h barrier.
As Vik resembles the lead actor of the film Home Alone, he has been given the nickname Kevin. Although the 26-year-old has played the ATP circuit for some time, he didn’t break through until last year, when he won the Wroclaw Challenger tournament in Poland. He has since notched up a number of victories, as a result of which his ATP ranking improved from 424th to 62nd. He currently ranks 74th, some 31 places below Rusedski, who last played at Ahoy’ Rotterdam four years ago. Although Rusedski was born in Canada, he has played for England since 1995. “I remember the court being a little quicker last time”, he noted afterwards. “It’s impossible to sustain a serve-volley game on this surface

Lol my avatar is a stupid duck called Karoo, from a comic I like (One Piece). It's a really special duck: he has teeth, he cannot fly, he's around 1.30m tall, and he's so stupid he makes me laugh until I can't catch my breath anymore !
