Yes, good old Brie Whitehead is back, and better than ever!  Sure, the new regs mean she can no longer earn ranking points by losing those ITF 1st Qualy round matches -- and she won't be able to buy her way into Tier 1 & Tier 2 WTA events in California any more, since those are now restricted to players in the top 500; how unfair is that! -- but do these hardships mean she'll give up? No! In fact she's already won TWO GAMES in 2007! Go Brie!!

I'm not a bagel girl enthusiast, but believe it or not I was here to post about Whitehead when I saw this thread.
News being:
She's made her way into the Bangalore qualies - which means she's already earned the point that she needs to keep herself on the rankings.
And more - she's up against a (presumably unranked) Indian WC on the first round. So there's a chance she'll earn even more points.

I think we have to recognize that Cheese Pimple was probably fatigued from her onerous player representative duties.

Do we know what Brie's career is outside of tennis?
I hope it's even cooler than Nancy being a musician and rich soccer mom.

I think Brie is young - 19 if I remember correctly. Her mom is her coach.

Wow, Brinyi's right; she does look fatigued!
I'm assuming her Mom is something like Samantha Stevenson and Yuri Sharapova combined.

And fit. Maybe more svelte than athletic, but she isn't the unfit lard ass one usually expects a bagel girl to be. Which means she must be completely inept at tennis. |

The one thing we know for sure about Brie is that she's VERY, VERY RICH. Over the past year, she has been double-bagelled in every remote corner of the globe. And she was allowed into the Rabat qualies as an unranked foreigner; that didn't happen by luck. Brie's tennis won't earn her the big bucks, but she's apparently already got them already, in spades. So: GO GET HER, CORSWANDT!  |

Being a rich bagel girl on the WTA is pretty much living the life.

If making the golpe do baú with a tennis pro was indeed the Oberkommando Corswandt's current main objective, don't you think I'd take aim at the biggest and most profitable target of them all?  |

You'd have more chance with the Queen of England than with her, but good luck anyway!  |

Ha, poor old PY was just trying to copy Tommy "Rafter wannabe" Haas.  |

Cheese Pimple in Dubai, playing with the big girls. Go home, Brie. Nice break for Emmanuelle, though. |

Cheese Pimple in Dubai, playing with the big girls. Go home, Brie. Big bucks in spades indeed. I keep hearing stories of how "players" with rich daddies buy WCs into South American challengers and the like, but this is a TII. You aren't supposed to just walk in and buy yourself an entry to the tournament. Right? |

Being a rich bagel girl on the WTA is pretty much living the life. I know.  And all the players would like you too, since you're no threat to them. Jealousy... This also proves that you can buy yourself to a respectable WTA ranking... Brie's won one match, and will probably get into the top 700 soon. |

I wonder who the heck that girl "Diamond Jackson" is, the one girl who lost to Brie? It's almost like she was conjured up out of nowhere, to serve the purpose of letting Brie win a match, then disappeared back into the mist ... :satan:

Post by leelee on Feb 16, 2007 18:23:24 GMT -5
That's just what Diamond is.
For even the lowest ranked players, you can search and find that they played in college or high school, or something. Diamond came from nowhere.
It's not a stretch that maybe Daddy paid off Stanford to give Brie a win...

Brie has received a WC into Dubai qualies.
Again, rich bagel girl = great life.

Even Nancy couldn't pull things like that off. Just the occasional WC's to Scottsdale and Stanford where they needed to fill Quali draws.
Daddy Whitehead must have zillions.

That's great work, Nancy Drew! Another Brie clue: I got yelled at last night on wtworld by a new poster with weird religious overtones, who did not appreciate my Brie-bashing. The poster denied being Brie's mom or dad, but gave the impression they were related somehow, because of how personally they took any criticism of poor, hard-working Brie. Though the person seemed to claim religiousness, they engaged in some insulting, which was enjoyed by all, but which seemed so un-Christian! Sadly, this poster said they would not be coming back to the evil, criticizing board, which is a shame, because I wanted to ask if Brie had any siblings named after other French cheeses.  All of which led me to wonder if Brie is the home-schooled, religious-right sort of rich girl. |
