World Ranking 23
Pennetta prefers the clay - the surface on which she has won two WTA titles this season - but she can also play on the grass. Twice she has been to the last 16 here, the last occasion being two years ago. That is her best performance at a Grand Slam event - one she equalled at the recent French Open where Venus Williams was a notable scalp. Such good form suggests she could make waves here given a decent draw.
