Also Anna Brogan, Sabrina and Dasher

Anna was at college in USA and was ranked in the 600's she had a good game

Indeed she had a CH 564 while still 17 and a doubles CH 644 aged 18. Still won't be 20 until August.

Anna B may be at college but I suspect in that case she's not playing any more. She's certainly not been playing college tennis.

This goes back a lot further but whatever happened to Jade Curtis? I remember her being a decent junior prospect but she seemed to disappear after that. It was way before my days as a forum member.

It would appear she won several awards while at college in the States, including http://www.ssacsports.com/awards/14/9.php

A google search turns up a reference to a Jade Curtis working as a coach in California but when I looked on the club's website, she wasn't mentioned amongst their staff so perhaps moved to another position elsewhere (if it is the same Jade)

I suspect she was simply too short to be a top 100 player in the modern era. Her singles career high was 325 aged 19 so she could probably have earned enough to survive on tour for a few years.

Yes Jade played very much on the lower circuit of college tennis where, naturally, she was a standout. She had very few options once she decided a tennis career wasn't going to work out as she had, as I understand it, rather neglected her education up until that point and so did not make the eligibility criteria of the stronger divisions.
