Biography

Growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio, Farley won four state high school singles championships, a record for any player (male or female). She was a junior singles finalist at the 1988 French Open and was also the junior runner-up at the 1989 Australian Open.[1]

Farley, who reached a career high ranking of 118 in the world, featured in the main draw of all grand slam tournaments except Wimbledon, although she did play there as a junior. As a qualifier at the 1989 Australian Open, she won her way through to the third round, where she was beaten in three sets by eighth seed Claudia Kohde-Kilsch. At the 1989 French Open she defeated former semi-finalist Jo Durie in the first round.

In the early 1990s she played college tennis for the University of Florida and earned All-American honors on three occasions.[1]

When she graduated from the University of Florida in 1993 she retired from playing professional tournaments and instead continued her studies at Vanderbilt University Law School, where she earned a J.D. She now works as a corporate attorney in Atlanta.[1]

gollark: This is why we should replace space stations with giant very thick-walled balloons. I'm sure you can ship balloon material from the moon or something.
gollark: (except space stations, which are fairly safe)
gollark: Safety doesn't exist in a vacuum.
gollark: What does "inherently safer" mean?
gollark: It's very safe unless people do stupid things. And they do.
