No Anna-Lena Groenefeld this year? I'd fancy her chances if she's now fully recovered and taking part.

Amelie's a great player for sure but IMHO she always seems to fall apart on the big occasions.

Btw, taking a look at the Australian Open's official Web site (http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/bios/indexw.html) it still lists Ms. Groenefeld. If she does participate I believe Anna-Lena, who is SO much stronger than a year ago...could be this year's dark horse.

If her service game can improve just a little bit, she'll be able to go far with her groundstrokes.

It is hard at this point to say which player will be in best shape for the Open, maybe Clijsters will make a good effort, as this is her final year...
