Larcher de Brito given wild card into main draw in Los Angeles
Michelle Larcher de Brito
Sixteen-year old Portuguese tennis sensation Michelle Larcher de Brito has been given a wild card into the main draw of next week’s LA Women’s Tennis Championships. Larcher de Brito, who trains at the IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy, is currently the youngest player ranked in the top 100 (#91) and is coming off of a very successful stretch of matches. She reached the third round at the French Open as a qualifier (beating Jie Zheng along the way) and then in her Wimbledon debut she advanced to the second round. She is without a doubt one of, if not, the best young player in the world and she is now getting a chance to showcase her talent. This will be her first tournament since Wimbledon.
Good luck to Michelle next week in Los Angeles!
