Nationality RUS
Pre-Tournament Odds 100/1
Became Pro 1999
Seeding 21
World Ranking 22
Petrova has seven career titles to her name, but the former world number three has always struggled to make a big impact at the very highest level. Part of that can be attributed to an awful run with injuries. More physical problems this term mean it's been a season to forget so far. However, a run to the final in Eastbourne has raised hopes and, with a fairly decent record in SW19, she could go well although it's still hard see this Russian making it into the latter stages.
