Player details
Name Virginie Razzano
DOB 12/05/83
Nationality FRA
Pre-Tournament Odds 200/1
Became Pro 1999
Seeding 27
World Ranking 28
Climbed to a career-high ranking earlier this year, building on an excellent end to the 2007 campaign. Captured two titles in the autumn. May be remembered by some here for overcoming a ranking gap of more than 100 places to knock out Svetlana Kuznetsova back in 2004. As a qualifier that year, Razzano made the third round but that's the only time she's been past round two in seven attempts.
