Jana Kandarr (born September 21, 1976 in Halle , GDR ) is a former German tennis player .

Career

The left-hander Kandarr, who plays tennis right-handed, moved from Halle to Karlsruhe after reunification with her parents (her mother Petra Kandarr was GDR Sportswoman of the Year in 1969 ) and trained for a few years at the Oberhaching State Performance Center before becoming a professional tennis player in 1994.

The greatest success of her ten-year tennis career was her participation in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. She was the only tennis athlete for Germany and reached the last sixteen, in which she was defeated by the eventual winner Venus Williams . But the result at the Australian Open in 2000, when she reached the second round as a qualifier, is also one of her successful. She was also in the semi-finals of the WTA tournaments in Palermo (1996) and Estoril (2001). Their highest ranking in the world rankings reached Kandarr on June 11, 2001, when she was led after a victory over Amélie Mauresmo in the first round of the French Open after the tournament at position 43.

Jana Kandarr ended her professional career at the end of 2003; In 2005 she came back again. After winning over Olha Sawtschuk and a hard-fought match against Kathrin Wörle, she reached the third qualifying round in Wimbledon , in which she was defeated by Mara Santangelo . Before that, she survived the opening hurdle in Berlin . Kandarr's short comeback ended after four tournaments at the WTA event in Stockholm , where she was clearly defeated by Alla Kudrjawzewa in the third qualifying round after two wins .

Kandarr did not graduate from high school until 2000 after she had dropped out of school for tennis in 1996. In the 2002/03 winter semester she began studying geosciences and biology at the Humboldt University in Berlin . Today she works at the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam.
