Pratt is now in her 12th year on the tour and, despite debuting at Wimbledon back in 1991, has played just seven matches.

Her only victory came in 1997 and, aside from that, she has crashed out at the first hurdle every time.

She is currently enjoying some of her best form and has flown up the world rankings in recent months.

If past form is anything to go by, though, she could be one of the first seeds returning home.
