| VERDICT |
 |
| Secured a stunning win over Venus Williams at the All England Club last year to announce her name to the world. The young star has also impressed on the hardcourts since that success, reaching the last 16 in Melbourne earlier this year and repeating the trick in Miami. A barren spell on the clay since may have lowered expectations, but back on a faster surface, Sprem's ability to crack winners means she could do some damage here. One player the big guns will want to avoid. |
