Serena Williams

Player details
Name Serena Williams
DOB 26/09/81
Nationality USA
Pre-Tournament Odds 9/4
Became Pro 1995
Seeding 6
World Ranking 6
Two-time winner Serena made solid progress 12 months ago before a quarter-final defeat to Justine Henin. Won her eighth Grand Slam title in Melbourne last year but has failed to reach the semi-finals in her last five majors. Began the year in great touch with three straight tournament victories but her form tailed off on the clay and she was beaten in the third round of the French Open by Katarina Srebotnik. As she approaches her 27th birthday, she may find it hard to discover the consistency required to reach her first Wimbledon final since 2004.
