Alyona Bondarenko

Player details
Name Alona Bondarenko
DOB 13/08/84
Nationality UKR
Pre-Tournament Odds 50/1
Became Pro 1999
Seeding 28
World Ranking 29
One of three sisters who play professionally - Kateryna and the lesser-known Valeria being the others - Bondarenko cracked the world's top 20 earlier this season. Enjoyed a decent claycourt campaign, beating Svetlana Kuznetsova in Berlin. Made a good switch to grass by reaching the last eight at Edgbaston so should be capable of a decent run here. More likely to succeed in the doubles though - she partnered Kateryna to the Australian Open title in January.
