| VERDICT |
 |
| Surprise finalist at the recent French Open where she capitulated in the final against Anastasia Myskina. Her suspect serve cost her dear on that occasion and that could be more important on the slicker grass. Apart from the final, the Russian was highly impressive in Paris, beating Lindsay Davenport and Amelie Mauresmo. Yet to go beyond the fourth round here, but this should be the year to break that run. |
