Verdict: A powerful baseline slugger, Mauresmo's best Grand Slam performance came in 1999 when she finished runner-up at the Australian Open.

But a poor record against the top five has hindered further progress.

Has never done well on grass and reaching the third round last year was the Frenchwoman's best showing in SW19.

Won in Dubai earlier this year, but she still looks one to oppose in the women's draw.
