Verdict: The big-serving American made big strides in 2001, ending the year in 12th place on the ranking list and reaching the last 16 of two Grand Slams.

One of those results came at Wimbledon where she lost out to Kim Clijsters.

Has been scratching around for form this spring after reaching the final in Sydney in January. Recently lost in the opening round at Roland Garros. A good result for the American would be to reach the second week.
