Irina-Camelia Begu: Player Ranked Outside the Top 100 But Reaches the Round of 64 of the French Open 2011
Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania, currently ranked #102, is one of Romania's new tennis hopes. This is her first appearance in a grand slam and has already notched one victory. She made a fantastic run at Marbella, where she played runner up to Victoria Azarenka. She was ranked #138 then.
Here in Roland Garros, her first round victory was over Frenchwoman Aravane Rezai who's a Top 20 player. Her second round match-up though was even tougher - against two-time French Open champion, Svetlana Kuznetsova. She lost. However, her experiences here against the top tier players should be a great learning experience for her.
