VERDICT

It's been a rollercoaster few years for the former world junior number one. After winning the 2004 US Open, Kuznetsova endured an annus horribilis before returning to top form last season. A very consistent year, which saw her reach the French Open final and contest a total of 13 semi-finals, lifted her back to a career-high ranking of four. However, she often seems to find one player just too good in the latter rounds and that may well be the case again in Melbourne.
