(Reuters) - Svetlana Kuznetsova has the versatility and mentality to mark her out as the "best player" on the WTA Tour, the Russian's coach Carlos Martinez has said as the 31-year-old aims to capture a second French Open title.

"For me, she's the best player, in general. She can play fast, she can go to the net, drop shot, slice... everything," Spaniard Martinez told Abu Dhabi newspaper Sport360 of the two-time grand slam winner.
