US OPEN WOMEN'S PROFILES

(12) Venus Williams
PRE-TOURNAMENT ODDS:	7/1
NATIONALITY:	USA
BIRTH DATE:	17/06/80
BECAME PRO:	1994
WORLD RANKING:	13

VERDICT

Venus guaranteed herself legendary status at Wimbledon earlier this year when she picked up her fourth singles title in SW19. She also has a fine record at Flushing Meadows where she has twice emerged as the champion. One of the top servers in the game, powerful groundstrokes and tremendous reach make Venus almost the complete package and she will be one to watch here. That is providing she's fully fit. Injuries have struck throughout her career and tendonitis in her knee in the run-up to this event will have been a concern.
