Tennis career
Linda Siegel defeated Ivanna Madruga, 6–4, 6–4 to win US Open girls' singles champions in 1978. In the same year she lost in the final of South African Open women's singles championship.
Controversy
Having just turned eighteen, Siegel made headlines on June 27, 1979 when she went braless in a low cut tennis dress during her second round match against Billie Jean King at Wimbledon. Siegel was immediately pursued by several photographers who followed her to her hotel room, asking her to pose in bathing suits and even in the nude. She refused and found the incident so embarrassing that she retired from tennis.[3][4]
