Zuluaga is in the midst of her best season to date of her career.

She made a major impact at the first Grand Slam of the year - the Australian Open - where she reached the last four but lost to Justine Henin-Hardenne.

Her form on the big occasion also stretched to the French Open where she reached the last 16 before coming unstuck against Venus Williams.

However, she has played just three matches at Wimbledon and came out on top just once.

The Australian Open at Melbourne Park proved to be a high point after two years of injury problems that had held her back.

The Colombian was sidelined for most of 2001 after twice undergoing surgery on her shoulder, and spent much of 2002 attempting to qualify for WTA events.

Some of her form has been patchy, but a quarter-final place in Berlin and her Roland Garros displays ensured the 25-year-old remains among the seeds for a second Grand Slam.
