Biography edit

A right-handed player from Victoria, Dittmann had a career-high singles ranking of 197.[1]

She qualified for the main draw of two WTA Tour tournaments in 2001, at Bali and Shanghai. In 2002, she featured in the Shanghai main draw again and lost her first-round match to Anna Kournikova, in front of a large centre court crowd who had come to see the high profile Russian.[2]

In the 2002 season, she competed in the qualifying draws of all four Grand Slam tournaments.
