Nina Bratchikova: Player Ranked Outside Top 100 Who's Into Third Round of French Open 2012

Nina Bratchikova was my breakout player in this year's Australian Open, as she reached the third round, ranked #136.  She also reaches the third round of this year's Roland Garros, this time, ranked #108.  In the first round, she defeated Monica Niculescu (#34) 06 63 63, then Claire Feuerstein (#145) in the second round, 36 63 75.  In the third round though, she ran into Wimbledon champion, Petra Kvitova (#4) 26 64 16.

Her performance here may allow her to break into the top 100 again, something she achieved January 30 this year, where she reached a career high of #90.  Since this is her first Roland Garros, she should reach a rank higher than that, after Roland Garros.
