Record at Wimbledon: 2003-quarter-finals, 2001-semi-finals, 2000-runner-up, 1999-winner, 1998-quarter-finals, 1997-second round, 1996-second round, 1995-fourth round, 1994-quarter-finals, 1993-third round

Like Mauresmo, lost to Dementieva at Roland Garros but grass is well suited to her heavy serve and penetrating forehand and she cannot be discounted.

As ever the ponderous American's relative lack of mobility is sure to be exploited by more nimble opponents.

Having just turned 28, and with the last of her three grand slam titles a four-year-old memory, Davenport's best days appear to be behind her.
