Re: Victoria Larriere
Victoria is into the quarterfinals of WTA Tashkent! She got her first Top 100 win over (5)Magdalena Rybarikova 6-4 6-4!   Ten match winning streak now! 
She plays (1)Ksenia Pervak next for a place in the semifinal. Should be a tough match but with her confidence at the moment who knows what she's capable of. 
She is very close to the Top 200 now. |

Re: Victoria Larriere
From a Eurosport article after her first round win over Z.Kucova.
Larrière se signale
Victoria Larrière, 20 ans, remporte mardi le premier match de sa carrière dans le tableau principal d'un tournoi WTA aux dépens de Zuzana Kucova (3-6, 6-4, 6-1 en 1h43').
Une montée en puissance. "Seulement" en Promotion (n°25 française), Victoria Larrière, 20 ans, vient de faire son entrée "chez les grandes". Engagée dans les qualifications de son premier tournoi WTA, à Tachkent, la pensionnaire de l'Olympique-Cabriès-Calas (Bouches-du-Rhône), 262e mondiale (261e à son meilleur, il y a quinze jours), aligne trois victoires (Ekaterine Gorgodze, Sofia Shapatava et Dalila Jakupovic). Avant ce succès sur Zuzana Kucova (127e). Son neuvième de rang, la Française ayant remporté fin août l'épreuve la plus importante de sa jeune carrière (un 50 000 dollars, à Istanbul).
«C’est une bosseuse qui prend un plaisir incroyable dans l’effort et croit dur comme fer en son potentiel.»
«Victoria fait partie du Club Provence, un système mis en place par la Ligue pour aider les 13 ans et + qui font de la compétition. Des entraînements, un suivi tout au long de l'année et des aides financières, notamment, sont proposés aux joueurs, explique Sophie De Taxis, Conseillère Technique Régionale. Victoria a toujours été dans le viseur de la Direction Technique Nationale mais n'a jamais voulu intégrer une structure fédérale. La raison principale ? Son environnement est déjà très tennis avec un papa qui a été son entraîneur et un grand-père très investi dans notre Ligue. C'est une joueuse complète, une bosseuse qui prend un plaisir incroyable dans l'effort et croit dur comme fer en son potentiel. Elle mérite ce qui lui arrive.»
Entraînée par Eric Dochtermann, la Provençale a déjà un plan de carrière bien défini. Pour 2011 ? Décrocher un classement entre la 150e et la 250e place. Un objectif qui pourrait être rempli dès lundi prochain. Pour 2012 ? Participer aux quatre Grands Chelems. Pour 2016 ? Le Top 50, la Fed Cup et les Jeux Olympiques. En attendant, Victoria Larrière, dernière Bleue en lice en Ouzbékistan après les revers de ses trois aînées, Pauline Parmentier, Aravane Rezaï et Iryna Brémond, croisera désormais la route de Magdalena Rybarikova, tête de série numéro 5, pour une place en quarts de finale. Une bonne occasion de poursuivre son apprentissage du haut niveau. |

Re: Victoria Larriere
Shame she had to finish this great run on a double fault. She can be proud of her! She has become the first French youngster to break through in a WTA tournament for a really long time.
She needs to score a couple of points before the year ends and then she will definitely secure a spot into AO qualifying draw.

Re: Victoria Larriere
Victoria will play Shrewburry next week. She still needs one withdrawal.

Re: Victoria Larriere
Victoria's currently at her career high ranking of 208th. So close to Top 200!
She won her first round in $75,000 Shrewsbury 7-5 2-6 6-3 against (WC)Lisa Whybourn. She saved two set points in the first set. Next up is (7)Vitalia Diatchenko. Tough match.

Re: Victoria Larriere
QF : Victoria Larriere def. Anne Keothavong 46 63 75
Woow ! 2nd win against a Top 100 player. Vic has been so amazing in the lastest weeks. She should be in AO qual now. That's just incredible. From all 1991 players I never expected Vic to play so well.

Great results for Victoria. Hopefully i'll get to see her play sometime soon. Can someone describe her playing style?

Re: Victoria Larriere
Her semi run in a 25k this past week should get her into top 200. New career high projected at 187!!!!
