Re: Destanee Aiava (AUS) and Myrtille Georges (FRA) receive AO WCs
Really?
Myrtille Georges sucks. She just lost 1-6 1-6 to Peterson. She had a random win against McHale at Roland Garros, that's all.
Problem is that France has no one ranked between 74 (Dodin) and 166 (Razzano). And the following players are not talented youngsters but middle-aged journeywomen. That's why this whole WC business is a farce.

It's weird to put in the same new Aiava and Georges, and is totally wrong to let understand that Aiava has "received" an AO WC.
Destanee has not "received" the WC, she has conquered it fighting on the court, while Georges has received it as Xmas gift in advance, without really deserving it.
Re: Destanee Aiava (AUS) and Myrtille Georges (FRA) receive AO WCs
congrats , Destanee:yeah: first time I've looked up who she was ( of course I already heard about her) , her surname intrigued me , didn't know she hd Maori/Samoan roots , which is cool
I like her style , and looks too , already a solid young woman. I read she was a bit too passive but hopefully she will bulk up her game a little and fulfill the potential she'd had in her for the past few years already
good luck to her
I hope she somehow happens on main tour
as for Georges...well.... FFT really should be more concerned about the way they train girls because they're really , really beginning to lack a lot of talent ... (in fact, it's been quite some time now ..)

^Agree on most points but she actually did win the Australian 18s tournament this week to win the MDWC. The OP was just irresponsible starting a thread naming two completely different WC choices that were announced at different times. Georges was an expected choices announced earlier this week and she's an untalented pusher journeywoman. Des is a rising young player who was an excellent junior and just won a tournament beating other decent Aussie players, mostly older than her to win her WC. It's simply not comparable.

No, I know Aiava won the U18s. I meant that her results have been world-class for her age and even if she hadn't won the U18s, she's the kind of player I'd prefer to see considered for WCs in general - real elite potential on an international level.
Re: Destanee Aiava (AUS) and Myrtille Georges (FRA) receive AO WCs
Aiava winning the event was probably the best thing that could happen given the situation. If Birrell wasn't injured, then Aiava/Cabrera/Birrell would have to be considered an improvement on last year at least
