if she wins the next two matches she's back in the top 100, I think.

Great :yeah:

SF: Maria Sanchez defeated Michelle Larcher De Brito 6-4 7-6(4)

WTF :help:

$50,000 Las Vegas, NV starts tomorrow. She's the 2nd seed

I think she's at #113 atm so she has a chance to get back inside the top 100 this week I think (?)

What? :spit: :help:

Too bad.. So sad! Time to go home :D #TooTired #Florida here I come! #941 ❤

:help: I can't. And predicting her future dream ranking in the end I see... (ik it's the area code :rolleyes:)

So sad!!! What a horrible year for Michelle again!!!! She is so young, but her 4th season also with no results. Last chance 2013. She has to move up her level. So it is really nothing.

#110 on TBE's updated WTA Ranks this week and is playing the $25,000 Troy, AL tournament as 2nd seed

Michelle is in the acceptance list for $25,000 Rock Hill (15-21 October) as #2 and for $25,000 Florence (22-28 October) as #3.

R2: Michelle LARCHER DE BRITO (POR) [1] d. Lena LITVAK (USA) 6-4 6-2

QF: vs. Grace MIN (USA) [5]

"In the other match involving an American player, Grace Min jumped out quickly on top-seeded Michelle Larcher De Brito, but De Brito kicked it into another gear down 5-4 in the first set and won 7-6, 6-2."

I guess the info there updates much quicker than on the ITF site: http://www.troyusta.com/1.html

QF: (1)Michelle Larcher De Brito (POR) d. (5)Grace Min (USA) 76(3) 62

SF: vs. (7)Sharon Fichman (CAN)

is it possible for Michelle to finish the year within top 100?

If she was to win this tournament she'd be like 102 in the ranks in 2 weeks... Obviously she's gonna play a hell lot of tournaments till the year ends but she also defends a 75k final and a 25k title... That accounts for 100 points. If she was to defend them after a possible 25k victory i'd say the AO direct entrance would be garanteed..

She is 3-6 3-5 down :sad: no big surprise, I think I read that Fichman is a moonballer :facepalm:

Was down 3-5 2-5 actually :help:

It's 4-5 now and she has to hold so :wavey:

NID. :lol:

SF: (7)Sharon Fichman (CAN) d. (1)Michelle Larcher De Brito (POR) 63 64

NID :sobbing: well, good luck in next tournaments. Top 100 isn't far, but I don't know if she is really top 100 material right now...

Marino won the tournament :rolleyes:
Michelle is playing 25k in Florence this week, the field seems to be quite weak imo. But this is irrelevand when we speak of Michelle :lol:

So true :)

Well, maybe she's too poor to travel around the world. With this results... :rolleyes:

In case of Michelle it is not a question of money...her family is not poor and she also not..she had a good start turning pro 5 years ago, good contracts...but something is going wrong in her career..she is not focussed enough and she don´t like to travel...

god thanks she didn´t live in Antalya...evry week another 10er ITF...:lol:

I think Michelle need a new coach someone who would take her game too the next level

Eurosport vai passar os slams e pouco mais. Enviei e-mail à Sportv mas nem me responderam. O melhor é mesmo subscreveres algum site que transmita streams em HD. Tennistv é uma boa opção.

Very happy. Michelle in Aus Open main draw for the first time ! :worship:

Where is she playing next?

She played today and lost in two to Cepelova 5 & 5. She had 5-3 in the second set, but wasted her chances.

This girl is not normal. Why she play Quali in Memphis? She could be in MD in Bogota..never saw a stupid shedule like hers..back to ITF...

b. Anastasia Rodionova 62 63!

Good luck in the MD!!

Must be drunk or sth. Two easy wins in a row. 6 Double faults in 4 sets. Broken 4 times in 4 sets. Those are normal stats. Waits for the predictable loss in the first round.

:speakles: She made it!

Can't wait to see her R1 opponent.

Niculescu please :hysteric:

Didn't she (Niculescu) just win a WTA title?

Didn't she (Niculescu) just win a WTA title?

Yes, but that just happens once in a while. (Plus, they are both soooo dramatic that this good be a a really enjoying match) :lol:

Niculescu please :hysteric:

Oh no. Craybas, please.

Oh no. Craybas, please.

For being honest I'm not seeing her winning no matter who's her opponent. It's sad but I lost all confidence.

I hope she proves me that I'm wrong.

Dulgheru, let's hope she takes advantage of the girl who's just coming back from injury.

Congrats on qualifying for Indian Wells main draw, Michelle ! :cheer:

Very happy. Nice draw too, Dulgheru is winnable. Time to shine again. C`mon ;)

She's playing tomorrow, right?

And she lost again. Dulgheru on HC not good, easy draw..but this Michelle is not normal, sorry...sometimes I think she hate WTA and only want to play small ITF.

Smh.

Up to know Michelle 3 spots away from the Quali for Miami..what a shame for her!!!

Where is she playing next? *sigh*

WTA Charleston / Q

and then

ITF 50er Osprey /Q

And Michelle lost vs. Riske in Q /Osprey..my god...

Q for Charleston next...

My god..50er Dothan/USA

1st Round: Michelle make one (!!!!) game vs. Tomljanovic. This is to much for me. Really love and support her..but now I stop it.

Next: ITF 50er Indian Harbour Beach / USA from 29.4.

Fans are not happy with Michelle , playing Indian Harbour and not in her hometown Estoril...she lost again early and was very rude on twitter and delated her profile. Sorry, but she is a little bit over the top.

:haha:

lost to Evtimova 63 46 46

Next stop: Brussels Q

Today she won her 1st Q round.

And lost to Putintseva.

Next: French Open Quali

Michelle lost 1st round FO Q..my god, not normal..trip to Europe without any points :haha:

feeling sad about her....

This sucks so bad :o
Still didn't get over that choke in the US open last year?

:sad: no more hopes on her

:sad: no more hopes on her

Same like me. Love her so much, allways hope..but this is really to much. Waiting for years and she reach - nothing...nobody also understand her shedule..to lazy to travel, allways small ITF in USA...:rolleyes:

What is going on with her play this year? Losing in the first round of FO qualies? Really?! :confused: I haven't checked her twitter account in awhile, but why did she recently delete it? I really like Michelle, but her recent behavior/on court performance is leaving a lot to be desired. I hope she gets her act together soon.
