I recall Anthea from playing in some of the Avon tournaments in the US in the late seventies and although she didnt win at Wimbledon, thought she was worth a vote.

My lack of knowledge about British tennis pre Andy coming on the scene and me finding this forum has been hugely exposed by this poll series.

None more so than in this one. Pass.

This group needs a boost so here is some info! Courtesy of google etc!

Megan Miller - now called Megan Behan and after spending time at Duke Univ works as a realtor in Texas. Lost to Natasha Zvereva at Wimbledon and Rachel Viollet as well.

Virginia Humphreys-Davies - A right-handed player, Humphreys-Davies twice featured in the main draw of the Wimbledon Championships. She reached her career high singles ranking of 357 in the world in 1992. As a doubles player she had a best ranking of 239 and won four ITF titles.

Karen Hunter - So, I am trying to work out if this is the same Karen Hunter, but it looks like she became a model and my memory tells me this is probably the same lady, I do remember her being tall and blonde. She may also be called Karen Hunter-Whishaw now, not sure...

Her age would look to be about right, 51, and her profile on ITF suggests she still plays some seniors tennis www.itftennis.com/en/players/karen-hunter/800179559/gbr/vt/d/overview/

Helen Crook - Before turning professional, Crook attended college in the United States, as a journalism student at the University of South Carolina. She formed a doubles partnership in college tennis with another British player, Victoria Davies. The pair made the semifinals of the 1994 NCAA Doubles Championships.[1]

Crook, who was based in Essex, began competing on the international circuit in 1996. All of her WTA Tour and Wimbledon main-draw appearances were in doubles, a format in which she reached No. 155 in the world. She made two WTA Tour doubles quarterfinals, both with regular doubles partner Victoria Davies, at the 1999 Warsaw Cup and the 2001 Birmingham Classic. She featured in the women's doubles at Wimbledon on eight occasions and twice in mixed doubles. Her only grand slam win came when partnering Anna Hawkins at the 2003 Wimbledon Championships, with the pair overcoming Barbara Schett and Patty Schnyder, before being beaten in the second round by Martina Navratilova and Svetlana Kuznetsova.[2]

She was one of the founders of GB Tennis Girls, an organisation supporting women's tennis

 no worries, it still seems to be the one voters are least engaged with though, strange how that seems to happen in these polls. Maybe bouncing it to the top every now and then will keep it in attention and encourage the 5 or so voters that voted on other groups to take a look!

Yes I think people haven't voted when they don't know anyone in the group, and I had to look up some names initially too. In fact I think Anthea has done fairly well from Brittak's early plug!

I think the item for sale on Ebay is a press photo of Anthea-rather than the press used by Anthea!
