I tihnk Rochette will be tougher than he looks. His name has popped up in a few draws here and there and he seems to be very consistent.

He's only 19 and started on tour last March reaching 631 already.

Hopefully as he qualified here for the extra point Wardy can have him with his new found experience at ATP level!
