Kuznetsova is seeded on her Wimbledon debut after soaring up the rankings in the last 12 months. The 17-year-old has already captured two titles - in Helsinki and Bali last year.
And she has also shone in doubles play.
Last year, she partnered former world number one Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario to three straight titles in three weeks.
This season, she teamed up with another former world number one Martina Navratilova and the pair have picked up titles at the Gold Coast, Dubai and the Italian Open.
One of 13 Russians in the Wimbledon women's draw, Kuznetsova does not relish playing on grass but her doubles experience should serve her well on the faster surface.
