Biography

[edit]

Jones comes from Melbourne and as a junior was runner-up in the girls' doubles at the 1987 Australian Open.[1]

She competed on the professional tour in the 1990s. At the 1991 Australian Open she appeared in the singles main draw as a wildcard, where she lost in the first round to Larisa Savchenko-Neiland. Her best singles performance on the WTA Tour was a quarterfinal appearance at the Taipei Women's Championship in 1993, beating Cammy MacGregor and Rachel McQuillan en route. She had a win over then-world No. 23, Amy Frazier, at Eastbourne in 1994.[2]

In doubles, she reached as high as 91 in the world in 1997 and was a semifinalist at the Auckland Open, partnering Esmé de Villiers. She featured in the main draw of the doubles at all four Grand Slam tournaments, which included seven Australian Open appearances.
