Who else is still on tour that played in the 80's? I'm sure I forgot some doubles specialists, too.

 

[propi]

Proly Els Callens who is 33 of similar, but better wait for Belgian answer

 

[esquímaux]

Sylvia Farina Elia

 

[wtn_amanda]

Nicole Arnt

 

[E. Blackadder]

Els first WTA tournament was only in 1991, but I guess she played some challengers at the end of the 80's

 

[347]

Barbra Rittner

 

[Caz]

Patricia Tarabini. I would guess Rennae Stubbs too.

 

[saki]

Lori McNeil is still playing some doubles isn't she?

 

[Cam'ron Giles]

Lori McNeil is still playing some doubles isn't she?

I dont think so...but is she coaching Amanda?

 

[doloresc]

capriati?

 

[canoe.]

capriati?

No.Capriati turned pro in March 1990

 

[Keith]

Didnt Jen play the Hopman Cup in '89? The wta counts it, I'm pretty sure as a victory. I think she won her match 60, 60

 

[347]

Do you mean the Wightman Cup? I know she played that as a 13 year old, which would be 1989 as we're the same age...

 

[katrientje]

Maggie Maleeva, no??

 

[tennisjam]

Maybe Sharapova

...as there are doubts that some Russian players could hide their real age...

In fact, she is 28...she turned pro in 1989

 

[MLF]

Magdalena Maleeva certainly was playing a few events in the very late '80s.

 

[Keith]

Do you mean the Wightman Cup? I know she played that as a 13 year old, which would be 1989 as we're the same age...

I didn't know the name for sure, so I figured someone would correct me. Thanks!

 

[Trish101]

Jen played Wightman cup yes, and she bageled ALL of her opponents!

Jen is a true talent, too bad about the whole lack of energy recently!

Opponent. Singular. She beat Clare Wood 0 and 0 in 1989 in her sole Wightman Cup match.

 

[MLF]

Poor Clare. Her two claims to fame are 6-0 6-0 losses. She became known for that 0&0 against 13 year old Capriati in the Wightman Cup. Then for her last ever singles match before retirement she was put on centre court at Wimbledon only to lose 6-0 6-0 to Arantxa Sanchez Vicario. GB would give a lot for Clare now mind you. She made the top 80 and gave Graf a good match in the second round of Tokyo one year losing 6-3 6-4.


One other player who was playing in the late '80s who is still active is Svetlana Krivencheva from Bulgaria. She's still on the challenger circuit but has never done anything of note. She played in the WTA event in Sofia in 1989.
