Biography

Born in Melbourne, Breadmore attended Wesley College where she graduated in 2001 with an VCE score of 99.1 and was awarded the Alexander Wawn Scholar Dux Award.[1]

From 2002 she competed on the international tennis circuit and in 2003 won both the singles and doubles titles at an ITF tournament in Wellington. In 2004 she made the first of her three main draw appearances in women's doubles at the Australian Open. At the beginning of the 2005 season she made her WTA Tour singles main draw debut at the Canberra Women's Classic, which remained her only appearance at that level. She featured in a total of 36 professional tournaments in 2005, as well as at the Summer Universiade in Turkey. Her titles in 2005 included a $25,000 ITF tournament in Lyneham, Canberra. Breadmore received a wildcard into the main draw at the 2006 Australian Open and was beaten in the first round by 14th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova.[2] She made only the occasional appearance from 2008, before retiring in 2011.

During her tennis career she studied for a commerce degree at the University of Melbourne. Graduating in 2010, she now works as a management consultant. In 2014 she became a board member for The Australian Davis Cup Tennis Foundation.[3]
