I don't think so ... she still hasn't made any good result beyond Tier III tournaments. Maybe if she's lucky with the draw could reach the third eound.
When are talking about darkhorses, what kind of result should he/she achieve? Or maybe just beating some of the top players?
just want to mention that a Spanish player has reached 4R for the last 20 years, so dont be surprised to see them up there, they seem to like rebound ace
Sharapova is nothing to me...
I'm going for either Myskina or Zvonerava to really push themselves at this Grand Slam. I'm predicting for atleast a QF for both.
If you mean darkhorse as somebody who is not expected to go far in the tournament than I would have to pick some of the women who have done ok so far in the tuneup events.
Asagoe, Frazier, Sprem and Aussie hope Stosur.
Of the higher ranked players than of course any of the Russian girls and maybe just maybe Smashnova-Pistolisi can finally have a decent Grand Slam showing.
On that surface, especialy if it's hot, Paola Suarez. She'll be a top 16 seed, and the slower and stickier it gets, the more it levels the field for the clay courters. I also expect something from Magui Serna, those I expect conditioning will prevent her from really making a breakthrough, like say the semis.

Well, you can't consider Myskina, the 6th seed a darkhorse!!! There's nothing special in reaching a QF for the 6th seed!!!!
I would definitely say Sharapova has the potential to reach a QF or even further. We'll see!
