Virginie Razzano (born 12 May 1983), is a French professional tennis player and the current French no. 4. Razzano, who was born in Dijon, has won two WTA singles titles, both in 2007 in Guangzhou and Tokyo. Razzano reached her career high ranking of world no. 16 on September 14, 2009.
She was chosen by Georges Goven to play in the Fed Cup first round when Tatiana Golovin had an injury and when Marion Bartoli and Émilie Loit were suspended. However, she was replaced by Séverine Brémond Beltrame because of injury in the quarterfinals.
On August 31, 2006, Razzano upset eighth seed Martina Hingis in the second round of the U.S. Open. On 2 January 2007, she defeated former world no. 5 Daniela Hantuchová in two sets in the second round at the ASB Classic tournament in Auckland, New Zealand. Later on, on 27 June 2007, she was upset by unseeded Yvonne Meusburger, in the first round at Wimbledon. On August 25, 2007, she lost in her second WTA Tour Final to Gisela Dulko at Forest Hills.
On September 30, 2007, Razzano won her first career singles title in Guangzhou, China. Razzano, the number 2 seed, defeated first-time finalist, 34-year-old Israeli Tzipora Obziler, to claim the title and become the 2007 Guangzhou International Women's Open Champion. A week later, she claimed her second career title, also in Asia, beating former no. 1 Venus Williams in three sets at the Japan Open Tennis Championships in Tokyo.
