Biography

Sprung, who is originally from Salzburg, played Fed Cup tennis for Austria in 1988. She teamed up with Judith Wiesner to win the deciding doubles rubber over Belgium, setting up a second round tie with the USSR. Against the USSR she beat world number 16 Larisa Savchenko in the singles, but this time lost the live doubles rubber.[1]

On the WTA Tour she was most successful as a doubles player, with a career best ranking of 97. She was a doubles finalist at the 1989 Fernleaf Classic in Wellington.[2]

Since retiring she has lived in Switzerland and is married to former India Davis Cup team representative Srinivasan Vasudevan. The pair run a tennis club in Zofingen.[3]
