Jenny Dimond (born 13 November 1955) is an Australian former professional tennis player.
Dimond comes from a sporting family in the Illawarra, associated more with New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL). She is the daughter of rugby league international Bobby Dimond, who played for Western Suburbs.[1] Her uncle Peter also played for Australia and Western Suburbs, while her cousin Craig played in the NSWRL, mostly for Cronulla.[2]
While competing on the professional tour in the 1970s, Dimond featured in all four grand slam tournaments. She was a junior doubles champion at the 1973 Australian Open with Dianne Fromholtz and teamed up with her again to make the quarter-finals of the women's doubles at the 1975 Australian Open. In singles, she reached the fourth round of the 1975 Wimbledon Championships, playing as a qualifier. She lost her fourth round match to past champion Evonne Goolagong Cawley.[1]
