Myrtille Georges!

Myrtille has had quite a successful year last year, making a jump of 200 spots in the rankings :worship: (YER 2011: 453 / 2012: 253 :eek:), and I think she's gonna break Top 200 soon and will be able to play Slam qualies (she only played RG qualies last year and lost in round 1), so I decided to make a thread for her! :D :cheer:

She was born on Dec 21, 1990, so she turned 22 a month a ago and she's quite a "late bloomer" according to the Tour's standards, but I think she has some potential - at least from what I saw of her in some French ITFs, she was competitive against good players.
She seems to be a nice and funny girl. :)

Best results so far: last year, won 10K Le Havre, made final in 25K Rebecq and SF in 25K Périgueux; in 2011, won 10K Apeldoom.

This week, she's playing 10K Glasgow and is through to the QF as Seed #3 and will face Lucy Brown in her QF.

Goooo Myrtille! :bounce: :cheer:

Myrtille played the 125K Limoges qualies, she was the 6th seed and beat Georgina Garcia Perez 4 & 3 in Q1, lost a pretty heartbreaking match against (2)Kateryna Kozlova (WTA 170, CHR 100) in Q2 today, 6-1 4-6 3-6 :sobbing:

Tough one, but it looks like she's improving, I'm really optimistic, the fact that she's able to make it tough against strong Top 150 players is great :yeah:
















Itw with Myrtille after her Q1 win :awww:

She lost 6-2 0-6 2-6 to Anna Blinkova in R2 :hug:

But she's through to the SFs at 25K Grenoble this week :bounce:
She beat Conny Perrin 3 & 2 in R1, qualifier Alice Matteucci 6-3 ret. in R2, and 4th seed Mathilde Johansson 3-1 ret. in QF today :oh:

OMG!!!11one Myrtille has received a MDWC at RG, and she's just won her R1 match over McFail (#67, CHR 24), 6-7(7) 6-0 6-3 :speakles: :bolt: :banana:

In the first set, she came back from 2-5* down to a TB where she had 2 SPs (one of the two was on serve), and after losing it heartbreakingly I seriously thought it was over already. But she won the next 8 games in no time :spit: and she just did it :worship:

So happy for her! :hearts:
