Tracy Austin is the mother of professional tennis player Brandon Holt.
Tracy Austin is an American former world No. 1 tennis player.
She was born on December 12, 1962 in Palos Verdes Peninsula, California, United States to George Austin and Jeanne Austin. Tracy has four siblings; Jeff Austin, Pam Austin, John Austin and Doug Austin. They are all former professional tennis players.
Prior to Tracy’s sixteenth birthday, she turned professional in October 1978. That same month, she won her first professional singles title, defeating Betty Stöve in the final of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Filderstadt, West Germany.
Tracy won three Grand Slam titles: the women’s singles titles at the 1979 and 1981 US Opens, and the mixed doubles title at the 1980 Wimbledon Championships.
She also won the WTA Tour Championships in 1980 and the year-ending Toyota Championships in 1981, both in singles.
Austin remains the youngest US Open female singles champion (age 16) and the youngest inductee into the International Tennis Hall of Fame at age 29.
She won thirty singles titles during her career, on all playing surfaces: clay (both red and green), indoor carpet, grass, and hard courts. A series of injuries and a serious automobile accident in 1989 cut short her career.
Since retiring as a player, Austin has worked as a commentator for NBC and the USA Network for the French Open and the US Open.
Tracy Austine has been married to musician Scott Holt since 1993 and together they share three children; Dylan Holt, Brandon Holt and Sean Holt.
