MICHELLE DE BRITO
Michelle Larcher de Brito was born on 29th January 1993 in Lisbon. She is a Portuguese tennis
player. Larcher de Brito’s family moved to the United States when she was nine years old so
she could attend the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida. She was coached by
Nick Bollettieri until the end of 2007. Currently she is training fulltime with her father, António
Larcher de Brito. She achieved a careerhigh ranking of 76 in July 2009.
She is the first Portuguese female player to enter the main draw of a Grand Slam, which occurred
at the 2009 French Open. Her impressive results at such a young age have prompted Nick Bollettieri
to tip her as a possible top10 player. She is known for her loud grunts while executing shots. In
response to criticism from fellow players about this, she defended herself by saying, “I could [stop
grunting], but, you know, it wouldn’t t feel natural, because it feels like something is missing from
my game when I stop.”
