Biography
Born in Chicago, Illinois, to a Swiss father and German mother, Jaeger is the elder sister of tennis player Andrea and attended Stevenson High School.[1] She was beaten in only one match as a high school player and won three successive IHSA singles titles, the first girl to have done so. Ranked fourth in the country as a amateur, she received a tennis scholarship to Stanford University, where she was a member of two NCAA championship winning teams.[2]
Jaeger competed on the professional tour during the 1980s, but was hampered by injuries. She featured in a grand slam main draw for the first time as an injury replacement for Evonne Goolagong at the 1980 US Open and won through to the second round.[3] In 1981 she made the main draw at Wimbledon, losing in the first round to Kim Sands.[4]
A political science graduate from Stanford, Jaeger's ex-husband is tennis player Scott Davis, who she met at university.[2]
