Francesca Schiavone

Player details
Name Francesca Schiavone
DOB 23/06/80
Nationality ITA
Pre-Tournament Odds 125/1
Became Pro 1998
Seeding 20
World Ranking 20
Helped Italy win the Fed Cup in 2006 and broke her WTA title duck last season in Bad Gastein after eight previous final appearances had failed to produce a trophy. Should feel at home here - she is based in London - but grass isn't a surface Schiavone favours and she has only once gone past the second round, so after an iffy claycourt campaign it's easy to see her becoming an early seeded casualty again.
