| VERDICT |
 |
| Many wrote the younger of the Williams sisters off last year when she returned to the tour after knee surgery. Her dominance, which had reaped the 'Serena Slam' in 2002-03, was gone. However, the toughest competitor on the tour proved her worth in January when she battled her way to the Australian Open crown. Missed the recent French Open due to an ankle injury. If that has fully healed, she is bound to challenge here where she was a two-time champion before losing to Maria Sharapova in last year's final. Will go close. |
