Andrea Jaeger

At just 14, Andrea Jaeger stunned the tennis world with a level of skill few players ever reach so early. By 16, she had climbed to World No. 2, a remarkable feat matched by an equally sharp mind. Over her career, Jaeger captured more than sixty tournament victories, including 10 singles titles and a mixed doubles Grand Slam at the 1981 French Open alongside Jimmy Arias. She proudly represented the United States in Fed Cup competition before stepping away from the tour in 1987.

Retirement opened a new path. Andrea pursued studies in childhood cancer and religion while keeping the sport close through recreational play. She donated all her pro tennis earnings to support children with cancer and children in need, and 2026 marks her 41st year providing free programs for these communities. Andrea and her Little Star Foundation have received numerous global awards and continue to bring meaningful support to communities worldwide.
