A finalist at Wimbledon said that a female tennis official had harassed her sexually at least thirty times.

Andrea Jaeger, 57, asserts that she was threatened and ordered not to bring up the matter again after complaining to the Women’s Tennis Association.

Jaeger said to the Independent that she avoided dealing with people’s remarks, attention, or behaviour by using portable toilets or a restroom stall.

Early on in her career, she claimed to have had at least 30 occurrences including physical efforts from a single non-playing staff member in the locker room.

“That specific non-playing staff member had a lot of trouble keeping her mouth shut.

I avoided going inside the training rooms by myself because I was also approached there.

The American, who began pro at age 14, was talented enough to be a Wimbledon seed at age 15.

She faced Martina Navratilova in the Wimbledon final in 1983, but lost.

She retired from tennis at the age of 20 due to injuries after earning millions of dollars and ten singles victories. She is now a nun.

At a players’ party held after the 1982 WTA Championships, Jaeger said she was given soft drinks that had alcohol added to them.

When she was 16 years old, a different employee gave her a ride home and proceeded to physically approach her once more.

She said, “I drove with her and her girlfriend.

“She led me to the entrance of my condo once we arrived and tried something on.

“She made an attempt to kiss me. I was so nauseous that I had to crawl up the steps inside in order for my dad not to see me attempting to hold it together while I puked.

She was informed that her sister’s scholarship to the prestigious Stanford University would be withdrawn after she confided in a WTA official.

Every time she attempted to defend herself, she was warned that someone else would suffer damage, she claimed.

Jaeger opted to devote the rest of her life to charitable causes after admitting she was burned out on tennis.
