A beaten semi-finalist last year, Ivanovic arrives at Wimbledon as the world number one on the back of her maiden Grand Slam victory at the French Open. The 20-year-old Serb has grasped the opportunity provided by the shock retirement of Justine Henin and more major victories look sure to follow. A former Wimbledon junior champion, she has the game to go a long way on grass and her powerful forehand allied to her booming confidence will make her a formidable opponent.
