VERDICT

Long regarded as a star in the making by followers of the WTA Tour, the Czech teenager is now proving to be a serious Grand Slam contender. She's made at least the last eight of all the Slams so far this term. However, her hopes of going deep again here have been hit by a virus which has prevented her from playing since Wimbledon, so it will take some effort to make an impact and an early exit could well be on the cards. Carries the distinction of being the sixth youngest player to win a WTA title - aged just 15 years and three months.
