(24) ALONA BONDARENKO

PRE-TOURNAMENT ODDS: 150/1
NATIONALITY: UKR
BIRTH DATE: 13/08/84
BECAME PRO: 1999
WORLD RANKING: 25
VERDICT
One of three sisters who play professionally - Kateryna and the lesser-known Valeria being the others - Bondarenko has been racking up the wins of late and will arrive here with confidence high. Was a surprise finalist in Warsaw, where Svetlana Kuznetsova was among her victims, and also made the semis in Istanbul. Brought that form over to the grass and looked in decent nick at Edgbaston in the build-up to this event, so should win a few rounds.
