Amy Jensen, born 31 July 1978, is a former professional tennis player from Brisbane, Australia. She developed into one of Australia’s leading junior players and was ranked No. 15 in the world in junior doubles in 1996. That year she competed at the Junior Wimbledon and Junior French Open tournaments and won two European junior doubles titles with Anita Kurimay. Jensen subsequently moved to the United States to attend the University of California, Berkeley, where she became one of the most successful players in Golden Bears women’s tennis history. She was a three-year letter-winner from 1996 to 2000 and recorded collegiate marks of 105–52 in singles and 94–29 in doubles. Her strongest role was as a doubles specialist, although she also competed successfully in singles and was a 1997 NCAA Singles All-American. Jensen won three consecutive NCAA doubles championships from 1998 through 2000: the first two with Amanda Augustus and the third with Claire Curran. Her partnership with Augustus finished with a reported 56–13 record. She was a five-time All-American and was later selected to the Pac-12 All-Century Team, while the Jensen-Augustus partnership was recognised as the Pac-12 Doubles Team of the Century. As a professional, Jensen reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 423 on 29 January 2001 and a career-high doubles ranking of No. 199 on 17 November 1997. She competed in the women’s doubles main draw at the Australian Open and appeared in the US Open women’s doubles main draw three times. The WTA lists her as inactive, with no current ranking, titles or active match record. After her playing career, Jensen moved into coaching and athletic development. She returned to Cal as a volunteer assistant and assistant coach, later coached at Mills College and the University of Denver, and was identified by California Athletics as head coach at UC Santa Cruz and a Pac-12 Networks colour commentator. Her publicly documented professional context is therefore former player and collegiate coach rather than active WTA competitor.
First big break
Jensen’s earliest documented breakthrough was her emergence as one of Australia’s top junior players. In 1996 she achieved a No. 15 world junior doubles ranking, competed at Junior Wimbledon and the Junior French Open, and won two European doubles titles with Anita Kurimay. Her major competitive breakthrough followed at the University of California, Berkeley, where she became a nationally ranked collegiate player and won three consecutive NCAA doubles championships from 1998 to 2000.
