 Sport | Lost night in SW19 for Jaeger
When Andrea Jaeger went down 6-0, 6-3 in 54 minutes to the reigning champion Martina Navratilova, the response was, 'How did that happen?' 20 years on, the story behind one of the most one-sided finals in Wimbledon history has emerged.
Jaeger, now 38 and unmarried, and still sporting the long hair that she once tied back in huge bunches, has devoted her life to running the charitable organisation she founded when she retired at the age of 22 after trying to get back from a serious shoulder injury sustained at the 1984 French Open.
Jaeger, whom the veteran tennis writer Bud Collins describes as 'a true angel', has decided to tell the real story of the 1983 women's final because, she says: 'I want to be truthful and to be able to look myself in the mirror.

This is the first time I saw Andrea and I almost laughed out loud when I saw her win a match and walk off court with the other player.
What a shame, as in the film I heard Andrea talking and she seemed like one of the nicest players ever and a lot older than her 14 years.
But then again I guess Andrea doesn't see it that way as she's happy with her life as a charity worker and says her injury was a blessing.

One of the pioneers of a sports trend that continues to anoint ever-younger athletes, she was, at fifteen, the youngest player to have made the finals at Wimbledon at that time.
In the decades since, Jaeger has surfaced in tennis conversations -- when she does at all -- most commonly as a cautionary example, a reminder of what can go wrong when little girls are pushed too hard, too soon.
On the eve of Jaeger's biggest match in 1983, against Navratilova at Wimbledon, Roland locked his daughter out of their rented house, unwilling to hear her plea that she'd injured her thumb.

In the early 1980s, Andrea Jaeger was a household name, even among people who had little or no interest in tennis, the sport that catapulted her into the limelight.
In FIRST SERVICE, Jaeger fills in the details, the often remarkable, behind-the-scenes story of a woman whose childlike faith in God never questioned that He would bring to pass the hopes and dreams she held out for the future --- a future she always knew would not find its center in professional tennis.
True to her nature, which apparently is an extraordinarily generous one, Jaeger is donating all of her proceeds from sales of FIRST SERVICE to help hurting children.

 Improving Her Serve - Today's Christian
Andrea is cofounder and executive director of The Silver Lining Foundation, which uses a ranch in Aspen, Colorado, to help children with cancer and other life-threatening conditions.
As Andrea won more and more matches, sportswriters began to call her the "child phenomenon." The opportunity to turn pro came when she was 14—an unheard-of age for tennis pros in the early 1980s—and she took it.
When Andrea is not spending time playing with the kids at the ranch, she's speaking at fundraising dinners, youth events, schools, churches, and, of course, children's hospitals throughout the world.
