Monica Seles (U.S)

Age: 28
Lives: Sarasota, Florida
Plays: Left-handed, double-handed forehand and backhand
Grand Slam titles: Nine (Australian Open 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996; French Open 1990, 1991, 1992; U.S. Open 1991, 1992.)
Record at U.S. Open: 2001-fourth round, 2000-quarter-final 1999-quarter-final, 1998-quarter-final, 1997-quarter-final, 1996-runner-up, 1995-runner-up, 1992-winner, 1991-winner, 1990-third round, 1989-fourth round.

A sentimental favourite with the crowd since recovering from a 1993 knife attack in Hamburg, Seles would love to capture the Flushing Meadows title as a U.S. citizen.

But she has had an indifferent season so far this season and her poor mobility will severely hamper her chances.
