The world's top claycourter and the one they all have to beat in Paris. Made the finals of all four Grand Slams in 2006 and won at Roland Garros to lift the famous trophy for the third time. In fact, the only defeat she has suffered here since 2002 came when she was suffering from a debilitating virus. Her form doesn't seem to have been affected by a recent divorce and she has already won in Warsaw in the build-up to this event. A likely winner.
