MARTINA HINGIS and LINDSAY DAVENPORT need Roland Garros. Hingis tends to be psyched out there and currently seems to be in decline; Davenport simply dislikes the surface. can either overcome their shortcomings here?<br />MONICA SELES needs Wimbledon. Even at her best she couldn't win this... any hope that she can triumph there now?<br />VENUS WILLIAMS needs the Australian Open and Roland Garros. She's never been particularly quick off the mark in a season, and - despite being underestimated on clay - has never shaken up Roland Garros. Can her improved commitment help her next year?<br />ARANTXA SANCHEZ-VICARIO needs the Australian Open and Wimbledon. Her glory days are emphatically behind her and retirement surely can't be too far off. Can she go out on an extra special high?<br />JENNIFER CAPRIATI needs Wimbledon and the US Open. She has the game for both - but was last season's fade out of the elite for good?
And the others? Serena Williams, Iva Majoli and Conchita Martinez have one Slam each. Is it inconceivable that any will add each of the others to her collection before any of the above?
Or will someone else, not yet a Slam champion, take all 4 titles first? A promising young player - Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin, Elena Dementieva, Jelena Dokic? Or maybe the next woman to win the Full House is still in the juniors? What do you think?
Personally, I'd pick Venus. Maybe not this year, but she'll do it first. If Martina pulls herself together she has the next best shot.
