Beatrice Capra - WTA Players Who Should Break Out in 2011
Beatrice Capra is only 18 yet she is one of America's brightest hopes for women's tennis. In this year's US Open, she reached the third round by defeating two players ranked much much higher than the 200+ current rank. She first beat Karolina Sprem, a wily veteran, and then in-form Frenchwoman, Aravane Rezai, who was in the Top 20 when Capra edged her. She fell to Sharapova though but I think 2011 is very promising for her. I just hope she gets the chance to join WTA tournaments so her rankings get closer to the #100 spot before Wimbledon, or at least the US Open.
