| Blake plays his best tennis on the hardcourts and has been a solid performer here, reaching the quarter-finals in 2005 and 2006 while he made the last 16 last year.
The American also reached the last eight on the hard court in Australia and despite poor performances at the French Open and Wimbledon, Blake will be full of confidence in his homeland.
His recent performances on the hard courts have been solid too, reaching the last eight of the Rogers Cup and the semi-finals of the Indianapolis Tennis Championships. |
