Tulyaganova has steadily crept up the world rankings since making her debut as a pro two years ago.

She made a name for herself on the world stage back in 1999 when she won the junior Wimbledon singles title and the US Open doubles crown in the same year.

Part of this season, though, has been hampered by injury - she has been struggling to fight off tendinitis in her left knee.

Has failed to make a mark so far in Grand Slam events, her career-best result coming in the Australian Open, where she reached the third round.
