| VERDICT |
 |
| A former world number one who is rapidly climbing back towards the summit after injury misery. A career-threatening wrist injury saw her miss most of 2004, but her return to the tour was sensational. She won back-to-back Tier I events in Indian Wells and Miami, building a 17-match winning streak. Picked up a knee injury during the claycourt campaign and has subsequently been playing down her chances in recent events. Hasn't been at her best on grass in the past, after winning at Eastbourne she'll be tough to beat. |
