Since 2005 Tim hasn't reached neither one Q at Grand slams or Masters and I doubt he will make some big run. 2004 was great year for him but since he hasn't really found his glory again. However last year at Queen's and at Tokyo (won 4 matches in a row) played his best once more. What do you think?

Tbh though, since US Open 2004, Tim has lost to Dayvdenko, Horna, Tursunov (3 times), and Federer (twice).
He played very poor matches against Horna at RG and Tursunov at Wimbledon 2005 and shouldn't have lost those ones but apart from that, you can see he's been really unlucky with draws. The other two times he drew Tursunov, they had evening matches in slow, damp conditions which hugely favoured the Russian.
He was particularly unlucky at last year's Wimbledon, unlike in 2005 when he had a shocker on the grass, he was playing really well - could have gone deep in the draw if he hadn't drawn Fed early on.
He's still going to be a massive threat to most players on grass and I also feel he can cause some damage in the US hard court tourneys in the summer, he's done well in them before...last year he just kept drawing Muzza
