Bracciali had some decent singles success earlier in his career, peaking at #49 in the world in 2006. His shining moment came at Wimbledon that year, where he beat Ivo Karlovic (Croatia) in five sets and pushed Andy Roddick (USA) to five sets as well. He's cleverly managed to extend his career with doubles play.
