Embree says she isn't good enough to turn pro

Thanks to On the Baseline for this New York Times story on French Open wild card Lauren Embree. Embree lost her first round match against Nadia Petrova, 6-1, 6-2. Petrova said of Embree: "She fought from beginning to end, she kept a lot of balls in play. And she had a lot of variety in her shots."

Embree said she was honored to lose and that she has a lot to learn. She plans to attend the University of Florida and play tennis there. She said she would turn professional if she were a top player, but "I'm just okay."
