Biography
Born in San Francisco, Louie is a Chinese-American and one of five children. Her father Ronald was a kung fu instructor. The youngest sister in the family, Maureen (better known as Peanut), was also a professional tennis player, while the three other siblings played tennis at college level.[1]
In 1972 she turned professional and played Wimbledon for the first time that year, where she scored a 10-8 third set win over Julie Heldman en route to the third round.
Louie, who wore glasses on court, had her biggest title win when she defeated Laura DuPont in the final of the 1975 Canadian Open.
Her best performance in a grand slam tournament was a fourth round appearance at the 1976 US Open. She defeated Janice Metcalf, Julie Anthony and Jackie Fayter, before having to retire hurt while trailing Mima Jausovec in their fourth round encounter, with a wrist injury.[2]
