Séverine Brémond (born Séverine Beltrame August 14, 1979 in Montpellier, France) is a professional female tennis player from France.
On July 10, 2006, Brémond achieved a career-high singles ranking: World No. 65, following her success at the 2006 Wimbledon Championships, where she reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam event for the first time in her career (as a qualifier). She eventually lost to Justine Henin-Hardenne of Belgium in the quarterfinals. She has yet to win her first WTA Tour title. Séverine reached the 2nd round in the 2006 U.S. Tennis Open, but lost to Maria Kirilenko. She also reached the quarterfinals in the Wismilak International Open defeating Trudi Musgrave and Sandy Gumulya, but finally losing to the eventual tournament winner Svetlana Kuznetsova.
She reached a new career high singles ranking of 47 in the world on September 18th, 2006.
2006 has been a breakthrough year for Séverine, as she made her first WTA Tour semifinal at the PTT Bangkok Open in Bangkok, Thailand. She beat fellow players Ryoko Fuda, Klara Zakopalova, and Eleni Daniilidou to make it to the semifinals where she faced hometown favorite Tamarine Tanasugarn and was finally beaten. Brémond's three previous matches had all been three-setters, so by the time she was to face Tanasugarn she was worn out and exhausted.
Her amazing run at this event boosted her rankings back into the top 50 at number 43. This is her current ranking as of October 23, 2006.
