Maleeva enjoyed one of her best ever seasons in 2002, winning her first WTA Tier 1 tournament in eight years in Moscow.
The youngest of three tennis-playing sisters, she first burst on to the scene in 1992 when she reached the quarter-finals of the US Open, defeating Martina Navratilova in the second round.
It took her until 1995 to reach the world's top ten when she won three titles in a season, and at the beginning of the 1996 season she reached her career-high ranking of fourth.
Injury has since stunted her progress until last season when she reached the fourth round of the Australian and French Opens.
