Anne Smith, Ph.D., won her place in the history books of all-time winners with ten Grand Slam championships in doubles and mixed doubles from 1980 to 1984. She is one of only 20 women in the history of the Open Era of tennis (1968 to present) who have won ten or more Grand Slam titles, and one of only 13 women in the Open Era to complete a career Grand Slam in women’s doubles by winning at least one doubles title at all four of the majors. She has won three US Open titles, two Wimbledon titles, four French Open titles, and one Australian Open title. She has been a member of the Wightman Cup and Federation Cup teams. She was ranked No. 1 in the world in doubles in 1980 and 1981, and reached a career-high No.12 in singles in 1982. Anne was a member of three World TeamTennis Championship Teams—the Boston Lobsters, the San Antonio Racquets, and the Dallas Stars. She went on to win the 35-and-over women’s doubles at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon in 1997. After her active tennis career, Anne returned to Trinity University and earned her Bachelor’s degree. She then enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin where she completed her doctorate in Educational Psychology with a specialty in School Psychology. She is licensed to practice psychology in Arizona, Texas, and Massachusetts. Anne practiced school psychology in the Judson Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, before moving to Boston, where she was the Director of the Learning Center for Dean College in Franklin, Massachusetts. She recently moved to Phoenix, where she is practicing psychology in the schools and coaching. Anne still maintains her Boston connection, where she is the Coach of the World TeamTennis Boston Lobsters and the mental training consultant for Harvard University’s women’s tennis team. The Lobsters reached the playoffs as a first-year franchise, and Harvard became the first Ivy League school to be ranked nationally in the Top ten. She is a USPTA Pro 1 and a member of the Head/Penn Racquet Sports Speaker’s Bureau. |
