| VERDICT |
 |
| When Davenport lost here in the semi-finals to Maria Sharapova last year, she admitted she was unlikely to return. However, back she is - and as world number one. That's largely because after leaving SW19 last July, Davenport was the outstanding player in the second half of the season. Reached her first Grand Slam final for five years in Melbourne in January, but blew up against Serena Williams when the title appeared to be within touching distance. There appear more likely winners, but this former champion cannot be ruled out. |
