Tracy Austin

ItemImage

Overshadowed during her career by the presence of Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, Tracy Austin still managed to have a successful professional tennis career. Tracy Austin won the US Open two times in 1979 and 1981. In 1980 She became the #1 ranked female tennis player in the world.

Tracy was the first of the Chris Evert "clones", although she was not as sound technically in her stroke production. Besides Navratilova and Graf, Tracy remaians the only woman with a winning lead over Evert in head to head clashes. The lead was built in the late '70's but at the US open in 1980, Evert won easily 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 and Tracy never beat Evert again. When Tracy attempted a comeback from injury in 1984, Evert creamed her 6-0, 6-0 and sent Tracy back into retirement. Overall, a good player, not a great one.
