30. Amanda Coetzer

DOB: 22.10.1971 Nationality: South African World Ranking: 33 Previous French Open results: 2001 :: third round 2000 :: third round 1999 :: first round 1998 :: first round

Coetzer moved up to a career-best fourth in the world rankings at the end of the 1997 season but has never quite recaptured the same level of consistency since then.

She has picked up a total of eight singles titles and nine doubles crowns since turning professional in 1988.

The 31-year-old earned the tag of the "Little Assassin" after defeating then world number one Steffi Graf at the Australian Open in 1997. She then went on to reach the semi-finals.

And she is renowned for her powerful play and attacking presence in every contest.
