There are many others; the above is a somewhat arbitray list of players who--for one reason or another--might be better known.
Worth pointing out:
ReplyDeleteI saw the Vakulenko match, and she was clearly (slightly) injured... called for the trainer a few games in, and had a hard time bending down throughout the match.

Sadly, Julia's career has more or less been one sustained injury. She has a big game, but hardly ever gets to play it.
