Arnaud Clement has had an excellent year reaching one singles final (Nottingham, where he beat Djokovic) and a semi final on the ATP Tour. His year end ranking is #54, placing him the 5th highest male in this strong Hopman field behind #3 Novak Djokovic, #13 Tomas Berdych, #16 Juan Ignacio Chela and #39 Mardy Fish. This was backed up by his extraordinary Wimbledon doubles victory with Michael Llodra over the Bryan twins.
