Jelena Dokic (Yugoslavia)

Age: 19
Lives: Belgrade, Yugoslavia and Tampa, Florida
Plays: Right-handed, double-handed backhand
Grand Slam titles: None
Record at U.S. Open: 2001-fourth round, 2000-fourth round, 1999-first round.

Having burst on to the scene in 1999, when she thrashed Hingis as a 129th ranked qualifier in the first round at Wimbledon, the Yugoslav has steadily improved her game.

Dokic has built a reputation of being a hard worker by playing more events than any of the other top players and is determined to break her barren run at the Grand Slams at the U.S. Open.
