Emilie's highest WTA Ranking has been #27 in singles and #15 in doubles. However, she has been a shame when she lost to Anastasia Myskina & Vera Zvonareva in penultimate deciding doubles match at FED Cup 2004 with Marion Bartoli, as a result France could not defend their championships & their team leader Guy Forget had to resign; also she was not chosen by the new leader Georges Goven to play in next year (2005) of all matches; but she made a comeback on 2006.
