She has finished the 2005 season on the WTA Tour ranked #13 in the world in singles. She has yet to win a singles title on the WTA tour but has reached eight finals, six of them since the Autumn of 2005. Schiavone has also been to two Grand Slam Quarter Finals in her career; once in her debut at the French Open in 2001 and again at the US Open in 2003. She is however yet to win a major title. She and her Italian team mates Mara Santangelo, Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci beat the Belgium team 3-2 in the 2006 Fed Cup final. Justine Henin-Hardenne had to retire in the fifth and final match due to an injury in her right knee, which let Italy win their first Fed Cup trophy.[1] This match was a doubles match and Kirsten Flipkens partnered Henin-Hardenne, and Roberta Vinci partenered Schiavone. One point in this game consisted of about fifteen slam shots that each team managed to return.
