Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon

I thought it may be time to bring up Mahut at wimbledon again, given that he has just recently won his first ATP title, at 31, beating Wawrinka handily no less (Well done to him).
Hes almost what youd call a grass court specialist, given the way he plays but hes never done well at wimbledon. Only 1 3rd round in 08, and 2 second rounds, hes gone out first round everytime otherwise (one of them quite well known of course).
Im a little surprised at that, I thought he might have done a little better... 

I think his draw puts him against Andy in the 3rd round, soo this year MAY be difficult, but does anyone reckon this guy could make a long ish run someday?

Unlikely given his age. Does seem to be in good form this year though. Good chance to make R3.

Well he gonna test Andy for sure, he has tasted success against most big guns on grass and on Andy too, if the grass gonna be lighting quick in the 1st week he will test Andy a bit for sure.

Aww surely not ic - after all Andy is your heavy favourite for the title?

I really like Mahut, he does play that varied style of play and is a real fighter. I just think it is a great story a guy at 31 finally winning his first ATP title.
