Larcher de Brito makes her tour rankings debut

14-year-old Michelle Larcher de Brito has entered the Sony Ericsson WTA tour rankings as number 364 in the world. This year, the Lisbon native became the youngest player to win a main-draw match (at the Sony Ericsson Open) since the age-eligibilty rule was put into place in 1995.

If you have The Tennis Channel, you can watch de Brito as she plays World Team Tennis for the Sacramento Capitals.
