He is currently ranked 16th.
Things have changed for him since Nov 23, 2008, when Verdasco, Ana Ivanovic's boyfriend, not originally picked
for the singles, wins the Davis Cup with his first victory in a live world
group singles for the Rafael Nadal-less Spain on an indoor court in
Argentina from two sets to one down in the fourth rubber.
