Note on name spelling: Sesil Karatantcheva is Bulgarian. Bulgaria uses the Cyrillic alphabet. That's why the Bulgarian names are transliterated in Latin alphabet. Unfortunately there's no common transliteration table and what happens is that either every person decides how to transliterate his name or some journalists translitarate it. Very often the more common translitaration is different from the one written in the passport. And this is the case with the surname of Sesil. She's known as either Karatantcheva (used by WTA) or Karatancheva (on some Bulgarian English language media). Regardless of the transliteration it shoud be pronounced [ka:-ra:-'tan-che:-va:].

Her first name is transliterated as Sesil although some people might write it like Secile, Cecile, Secil. The way it should be prnounced is [se-'sil].

In Bulgarian language her name is Сесил Каратанчева. In Russian language her name is written Сесиль Каратанчева.
