Schruff, who began playing tennis at the age of five, decided to pursue a career in professional tennis after graduating from high school.
In singles, she won two ITF tournaments, the last in September 2010 in Alphen aan den Rijn . She celebrated her greatest sporting success on the WTA Tour in April 2003 at the clay court tournament in Estoril . Schruff, who started the tournament as a qualifier, lost in the final to the Spaniard Magui Serna in two sets. In 2007 she was able to move into the semifinals at the ITF tournament in Acapulco (loss to Émilie Loit ).
In doubles, she won five tournaments at the ITF Women's Circuit with changing partners , her last title win was in Florence in May 2010 . After that, Schruff had to take a break for over six months because of food poisoning that she contracted at the tournament in Memphis .
In 2011 she played only a few tournaments before she left the professional tour because of her pregnancy. As of April 16, 2012, Schruff is no longer listed by the WTA .
Fed Cup
Between 2004 and 2006 Schruff was part of the German Fed Cup team . In April 2005 she managed her first victory against Indonesian Wynne Prakusya. In protest against the alleged unequal treatment of players by team boss Barbara Rittner and because of the lack of team spirit in her opinion, she refused - together with Martina Müller - to travel to Beijing in 2006 for the game against China . The German Tennis Association , on the other hand, named excessive claims for initial bonuses as a point of contention. Schruff and Müller were then removed from the A-team.
