Date of Birth: 15.12.80
Became pro: 1999
World ranking: 29 |
Verdict: Stevenson is best remembered for her run to the semi-finals at Wimbledon just weeks after turning professional in 1999.
In doing so, she became the first qualifier to achieve that feat in the women's singles.
The big server slipped back down the rankings after that but is now back to her best.
Beat Jennifer Capriati in Sydney this year and has since been to the fourth round in both Indian Wells and Miami. Also finished runner-up to Lisa Raymond in Memphis.
Always pleased to be playing on grass, Stevenson has won several matches at Surbiton and Edgbaston in the run-up to Wimbledon and is one the leading seeds will hope to avoid.
