27. Nathalie Dechy

DOB: 21.02.1979 Nationality: French World Ranking: 30 Previous French Open results: 2001 :: third round 2000 :: first round 1999 :: third round 1998 :: third round

Dechy has played 14 times on the clay of Roland Garros and come away with just seven victories for her efforts.

Three times she has made it to the third round but has so far failed to make the step up to the last 16.

A strong player from the back of the court, she readily admits she is happier on harder surfaces.

She has still been successful enough on the WTA Tour, reaching the $1m mark for career earnings earlier this year.
