Date of Birth: 10.03.76
Became pro: 1992
World ranking: 33 |
Verdict: The Austrian pin-up attracted the attentions of the tabloid press here last season, particularly when she took on Jelena Dokic in the third round - and lost.
She saved her best performances for the big tournaments in 2001, producing one of the best results of the year at the French Open where she dumped out Venus Williams in round one. .
But Schett struggled towards the end of the year and her form has again been patchy so far in 2002 and she is still looking to get back in the world's top ten after losing it due to injury in 1999.
May well attract more coverage for her looks rather than performance again this time around.
