VERDICT
The world number 35 has won four and lost four at Wimbledon since a 2001 debut. Last year Razzano, then world number 118, caused a major upset when she knocked out number eight seed Svetlana Kuznetsova. That sparked a climb into the world's top 40, a run which included reaching her first tour final. Next on the agenda will be reaching the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time - not an unrealistic aim here.
