Montpellier (Occitan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occitan_language) Montpelhièr) is a city (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City) in the south of France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France). It is the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languedoc-Roussillon) région (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9gion_in_France), as well as the préfecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pr%C3%A9fecture) (administrative capital) of the Hérault (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9rault) département (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9partement_in_France). Population of the city (commune (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commune_in_France)) of Montpellier at the 1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999) census was 244,300 inhabitants, whereas the whole metropolitan area (in French: aire urbaine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aire_urbaine)) had a population of 459,916 inhabitants in 1999. As of February 2004 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004) estimates, the population of the city of Montpellier reached 244,700 inhabitants, meaning a 1.7% population growth per year between 1999 and 2004
The city is situated on hilly ground 10 km (6 miles) inland from the Mediterranean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean) coast at the coordinates 43°37N 3°52E, on the River Lez (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=River_Lez&action=edit). The name of the city, originally Monspessulanus, is said to have stood for mont pelé (the naked hill, because the vegetation was poor), or le mont de la colline (the mount of the hill) [1] (http://www.montpellier-herault.com/histoire-generale1.html); an alternative theory is that it was named for the hill of Monte Pestelario.

Elodie ROGGE-DIETRICH (FRA) defeated Kelly COUTURIER (FRA) 6-0 6-0

This result doesn't make sense at all :eek: Who the f*ck is that Elodie? :o

local club player ?!?

Right but at complete opposite way :lol:
I think that should be 1 point anyway ('who had runner up as winner':lol:)

This result doesn't make sense at all :eek: Who the f*ck is that Elodie? :o

I have just noticed on FFT that Elodie is better than Couturier with some good victories over Crouchent Olivia and Cazeaux Amandine !

Do any of the Frenchies know what's the deal with Mishma Kumar?

She was an outstanding junior prospect here around the age of 12/13, then seems to have disappeared to France...has she applied for French citizenship or is she just living there and training or what???

Any info would be greatly apprieciated :)
