Tracy Austin

Imagine being so good at a game that you become the best in the whole world! That's what Tracy Austin did. She played tennis and was so amazing that people called her the number one player. She won big tournaments, like the US Open, not just once, but twice! It's like winning the biggest prize at the school fair two years in a row!

Tracy Austin was super young when she started winning. She won the US Open when she was only 16 years old! That's younger than most kids are when they get their driver's permit. She was so good, she was like a tiny rocket ship zooming past everyone else on the tennis court.

Did you know Tracy also won a big tennis prize with her brother, John? They played together in a special kind of tennis called mixed doubles. It's like teaming up with your best friend for a super fun game. They won a big championship at Wimbledon, a very famous tennis place!

Tracy Austin was so incredible that she got a special honor. She was put into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. This is like being invited to a special club for the greatest tennis players ever. She was the youngest person ever to join this club, only 29 years old!
