"Julia Georges" Germany gorgeous tennis star, Julia Georges aims to put her attentions on tennis, rather then her looks.

World No.21, Julia Georges has said that she is eager to consolidate after the breakthrough season she had in 2011 and is not happy with the extra attention she gets for her looks saying that she would rather be known for her tennis.

Georges, who had shown an excellent performance this season knocking out the world No.1, Caroline Wozniacki to clinch her second title this year at Stuttgart has stated that, sometimes you do get sick of it and added that, It was getting a bit distracting, so I walked over to tell him how to say my name. I guess the fans were a bit surprised. It’s not too much, I think, for umpires to get this right. But afterwards the media did make a big deal.

I don’t like it when people focus on how you look, say Goerges. I don’t think it is important how you look on court. If you look good, it doesn’t help you to win matches. Of course I look in the mirror every morning before I go out but I am not the kind of girl that tries to make myself more glamorous. I want to show how good I can be at tennis.”

It was definitely the best year I have ever had in my career, says Goerges. It’s great that my ranking is going up but for me the most important thing is that my game is improving.

My whole game, fitness, strategy – you can say my game is getting together. That’s what counts for me and then the points and rankings come after that. It’s nice to have a good number by your name but I think the constant improvement is more important come the end of your career.

We are beginning to make our mark, says Goerges. The public and the media always talk about Steffi and her 22 grand slams and the comparison was hard. No one will ever get close to that. But now we are having some success and the media is starting to respect that.

It feels a bit like home, even though you are so far away, says Goerges, You can be in a supermarket and I was always surprised when suddenly people would start speaking German.

So stay tuned, as the German second seeded player, Georges will be playing her first competition at the 2011 ASB Classic Open, Which is scheduled to begin from January 2-7, 2012.
