Biography

On July 10, 2006, Severine Bremond achieved a career-high singles ranking: World No. 65, following her success at the 2006 Wimbledon Championships, where she reached the quarterfinal of a Grand Slam event for the first time in her career—as a qualifier.

In 2006 Bremond reached her first WTA Tour semifinal at the Tier III PTT Bangkok Open in Bangkok, Thailand. She beat Ryoko Fuda, Klara Zakopalova, and Eleni Daniilidou (saving match points in the second set) to make it to the semifinal where she faced hometown favorite Tamarine Tanasugarn and was beaten. Bremond's three previous matches had all been three-setters; by the time she was to face Tanasugarn she was worn out. Her run at this event boosted her rankings back into the top 50 at No. 43.

Bremond entered the 2008 US Open as a wildcard, where she beat Julia Goerges, Nicole Vaidisova and Tathiana Garbin. She lost to eventual champion Serena Williams (6-2,6-2) in the fourth round.

While Bremond has never won a doubles title on the WTA Tour, she has made the semifinals of the Mixed Doubles tournament at Wimbledon of 2007 with Fabrice Santoro.
