She came within two points of winning the French Open in 2001 and then lost it all.

Also known as the girlfriend of Lleyton Hewitt, she might just go one better this year. A power-packed game makes her a dangerous opponent at all times.

"I think the most important thing is that I stay with my feet on the ground. That's what all the young girls do. When they beat a good player, I think that's the first thing we have to do is that we're not thinking that we're in the Top 10 already or anything. We still have to prove everything."
