MONICA SELES Number 12 seed

FACTFILE DOB: 02.12.1973 Nationality: American World ranking: 12 Roland Garros record 2002:: quarter-final 2001:: n/a 2000:: quarter-final 1999:: semi-final

Seles' chances of adding to her nine Grand Slam titles seem to have receded altogether.

Now 29, the American is a regular in the latter stages of the major events but struggles to cope with the power and movement of the likes of Venus and Serena Williams.

Returning to the scene of some of her greatest performances, Seles can draw on plenty of inspiration at Roland Garros having won the title three times.

Equally dangerous on the forehand and backhand, Seles uses the angles of the court better than many of her opponents.
