Biography
[edit]Anderson, who grew up in Benoni, was a girls' singles semi-finalist at the 1989 Wimbledon Championships.[1]
On the professional tour, Anderson competed in ITF circuit events and was most successful in doubles, with a best ranking of 124 in the world. She won eight ITF doubles titles with countrywoman Robyn Field and 13 in total. Her career was curtailed by a wrist injury, which caused her to miss much of 1990 and 1991.[2]
From 1994 to 1997 she played college tennis in the United States for the University of Georgia. A four-time doubles All-American, she was a member of Georgia's NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championship winning team in 1994.[citation needed]
She is now living in the United States.[3]
