Hello!
Andrea Jaeger
was a professional tennis player ranked #2 in the world at age 16
About Me
Andrea Jaeger's journey began as a prodigious talent on the professional tennis circuit, when she astounded the world at 15 with her exceptional skills. By the time she was 16, Jaeger had climbed the rankings to claim the title of the world's #2 ranked player, showcasing a prowess that belied her tender age.
During her career, Jaeger demonstrated her supremacy on the court, winning over 60 tournaments. Her triumphs include 1 mixed doubles Grand Slam (French Open 1981, with Jimmy Arias). Her dynamic playing style earned her 10 singles titles. She competed for the United States in the Fed Cup and retired in 1987.
Even while competing on the pro circuit, Andrea was already working to ease the pain and suffering of children in hospitals around the world. When the professional tennis tour told her she could not help children and play professional tennis at the same time, Andrea made a decision few teenagers would have the courage to make. She chose service over spotlight, donating all of her pro tennis earnings to help children with cancer and children in need, and founded her own children's cancer foundation as a result of that calling.
