Biography
Gregory, who comes from Bundaberg in Queensland, won back-to-back Australian Open girls' doubles junior titles in 1974 and 1975.[1]
She featured in the main draw of all grand slam tournaments during her career. At the 1975 Australian Open, in addition to winning the girls' doubles, she also competed in the women's singles and made the third round, with wins over Dianne Evers and Pam Whytcross. At both the January and December editions of the Australian Open in 1977 she partnered with Jan Wilton to make the quarter-finals of the women's doubles .
In 1980 she won the Australian Hard Court Championships, a non tour event, and also made the final of three WTA Tour tournaments.[2] During her tour of Japan in October, she lost the doubles final in Nagoya, then was runner-up in both the singles and doubles events at the Japan Open in Tokyo.[3]
She continued competing on tour until 1984 and while she didn't reach any further finals, she did have some notable wins. In 1981 she overcame a deficit of 0–6, 1–5, to win against three-time grand slam champion Virginia Wade, at the Family Circle Cup in South Carolina.[4] At Wimbledon in 1983 she beat Steffi Graf in the second round of qualifying.[5]
