Career

Georges made her debut on the ITF Circuit in November 2006 in a $10k tournament in Le Havre; she only played the singles event and was eliminated in the singles qualifying second round. Her next tournament was in November 2007 in a $50k tournament in Deauville, France (it was the only tournament that she played in 2007); she only played the singles event and was eliminated in the singles qualifying first round.

In 2008, she played (only the singles events of) five tournaments (all of them in France and four of them in the last four months of the year) on the ITF Circuit.

From 2009 onwards, Georges started to play more regularly; she played in the singles events of 23 tournaments on the 2009 ITF Women's Circuit.

Georges made her WTA Tour doubles debut at the 2010 Internationaux de Strasbourg after receiving a main-draw wild card; she and her partner Émilie Bacquet lost in the first round to the top-seeded pair of Chuang Chia-jung and Lucie Hradecká, 1–6, 3–6.

Georges made her WTA Tour singles debut at the 2011 Open GDF Suez thanks to a wild card; she lost in the first qualifying round to Maria-Elena Camerin, 3–6, 3–6.

Georges made her Grand Slam and WTA Tour singles main-draw debut at the 2016 French Open after obtaining a wild card. She had been eliminated in the first or second singles qualifying rounds of the French Open for four consecutive years, from 2012 (the year of her Grand Slam singles debut) to 2015. In the first round of the 2016 French Open, she defeated world No. 67 Christina McHale, 6–7, 6–0, 6–3, to register her first career-win over a player ranked in the top 100 of the WTA singles rankings, before losing in the second round to the No. 4 seed Garbiñe Muguruza, 2–6, 0–6 in 53 minutes.

She announced her retirement from professional tennis on September 2020.
