former Tennis star "Tracy Austin" success - 15 décembre 2011
Former World No. 1 female professional tennis player from the United States who won the womens singles title at the US Open in 1979 and 1981 and the mixed doubles title at Wimbledon in 1980, before a series of injuries cut her career short. Austin defeated 35-year-old Billie Jean King in the quarterfinals of Brazil in 1979 6Â4, 6Â7, 6Â2 before losing to Martina Navrátilová in straight sets in the semifinals. Austin then became the youngest ever US Open champion, aged 16 years and 9 months. In the final, she faced Chris Evert who was bidding to win the title for the fifth consecutive year: Austin won the match 6Â4, 6Â3. Earlier that year, Austin had ended Everts 125-match winning streak on clay by beating her in three sets in a semifinal of the Italian Open. In 1992, Austin became the youngest person to be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Since retiring as a player, Austin has worked frequently as a commentator for NBC and the USA Network. She worked for the Seven Network at the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 Australian Opens and usually participates in the BBCs Wimbledon coverage.
