Player details
Name Patty Schnyder
DOB 14/12/78
Nationality SUI
Pre-Tournament Odds 200/1
Became Pro 1994
Seeding 12
World Ranking 12
Schnyder has hovered around the world's top 10 for the past four years, but she has made little impression on the Grand Slams, only once going as far as the semi-finals. She reached the last eight on her preferred clay surface at the French Open, but has a poor record on grass and won't be relishing a trip to the All England Club. Reached the second week for the first time in 12 visits last year, but promptly lost to Justine Henin. Beaten five times in the first round, so could be a high seed under threat early on again.
