Lisa Whybourn (born 11 May 1991) is an English former professional tennis player.[1]

She broke into the world top 250 in June 2010 following her run to the final qualifying round at Wimbledon.[2] Whybourn is originally from Hemingford Grey in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire,[citation needed] but is now coaching at the Hume Tennis And Community Centre in Craigieburn, Victoria.[3]

Tennis career

Junior years

Lisa played her first junior ITF tournament in April 2006 and her last in the qualifying rounds for the Wimbledon Championships in June 2009. She reached three singles finals (winning two of them), and three semifinals, during those three years. She never passed the first round of junior Wimbledon, and she did not compete in any of the other three Grand Slam junior events. Lisa managed to win two titles in doubles. She was also a doubles runner-up twice and a semifinalist twice. Whybourn amassed a singles win–loss record of 31–22, and a win–loss record of 24–20 in doubles. Her career-high combined singles and doubles ranking was world No. 177 which was achieved on 19 May 2008.[4][5]

ITF Circuit & WTA Tour

Lisa first competed on the ITF Circuit in 2006, when she played in two $10k events in Britain, and she lost in the qualifying rounds for each one. She competed in three more $10k Futures in 2007 but lost in the qualifying stages, again. She then competed in a number of lower-level ITF events in 2008, and did not pass the first round in any of them.

Her first ITF semifinal came in September 2009 at the $10k event in Cumberland in London, in which she was beaten by fellow Brit Jade Windley. She followed that event by reaching the second round of the $75k tournament in Shrewsbury. She eventually lost to Elena Baltacha in straight sets. Lisa also reached the quarterfinals of a $50k event. Her very first year-end world ranking was No. 531.[6]

Whybourn reached the semifinals of a $10k event in April 2010, and eventually reached her first ITF final later in April, in which she was beaten by Romana Tabaková. She reached the quarterfinal round of another $10k event. Whybourn received a wildcard into the qualifying draw for the Birmingham Classic, and she was beaten by Sophie Ferguson. Lisa's next wildcard chance gave to her an entry into the Wimbledon qualifying. She beat Sally Peers and Anna Floris, before being stopped in the final round by Andrea Hlaváčková. She returned to the ITF Circuit for the rest of the season. Lisa reached two more quarterfinals and one more semifinal. Her year-end ranking was No. 333.[6] Her career-high WTA ranking was 250.

Whybourn announced her retirement from tennis in July 2017, due to an accumulation of injuries and surgeries.[7]
