VERDICT
Likes to volley and arrives here having made the semi-finals of the DFS Classic at Edgbaston, so should be confident of a decent showing on the SW19 grass. Also finished as runner-up in Bangalore earlier this season where she was defending her only WTA title. Her good form this season has seen her rise to a career-high ranking inside the top 30. Should better her previous best effort (second round) here.
