Biography
[edit ]Limmer, a right-handed player from Melbourne, began playing tennis at the age of six and had a successful career in junior tennis.[1] Most notably, she won the girls' singles title at the 1992 Australian Open, where she beat Lindsay Davenport in the final.[2] This came after she had competed in the senior main draw that year and reached the second round, by beating world No. 38, Emanuela Zardo.[3]
As a professional player, she had a best ranking of 141 in the world, which she attained in 1993. Her best win on the WTA Tour came against Rosalyn Fairbank, the ninth seed at the 1993 edition of the Brisbane Hardcourt Championships.[4] In doubles, she twice appeared in the main draw at Wimbledon and won five titles on the ITF Circuit.
