| VERDICT |
 |
| Now a genuine challenger for the top prizes, the main problem for the Belgian looks to be clearing the final hurdle. She had Serena Williams there for the taking in Melbourne before losing and also crumbled in the recent French Open final. Probably not the best bet here given grass is far and away her weakest surface. |
