Tennis career edit
Brown's parents played tennis socially, and she began playing seriously when she was nine. She played in Oxfordshire, and trained at the LTA Academy in Loughborough and then the Bisham Abbey High Performance Centre. She then trained in Spain, and then at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton, but her tennis training was a source of financial stress.[2]
During her professional career, she won six doubles titles on the ITF Pro Circuit.[3] In 2010, she played doubles at Wimbledon with her friend Laura Robson.[4]
Injuries ended her professional career.[5]
Subsequent career edit
Brown is now the head coach at Cothill House, a boys' boarding school in Oxfordshire.[6]
