With
just one victory on grass courts, the Argentinian is one of many
players merely making up the numbers at the 2010 AEGON
International.
Yet to break into the world's top 40 as mainly plays Challenger events rather than on the ATP Tour.
However, was crowned the 2009 ATP Newcomer of the Year. But Zeballos made a disastrous start to the 2010 campaign with four successive opening round defeats - including the Australian Open.
Zeballos reached a career milestone by defeating French ace Gilles Simon, his first-ever win over a world top 25 player, at the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, USA.
Reached second round of 2010 French Open.
Realistic chances of winning // Will do amazingly well to get past the opening round.
