The Corpus Christi Tennis Association is teaming together with the tennis community in raising funds to help Susan Torrance in her battle with cancer. She battled cancer several years ago and won! This is a new battle with a new cancer. (will know more in the coming weeks) As many of you know Susan has been a staple in the tennis community for many years and has given so much to us.

For those of you who don't know Susan was inducted into the Texas Tennis Hall of Fame in 2014 with her bio that reads:

Susan Shelby Torrance was a UIL State Singles Champion in 1968 representing King High School in Corpus Christi. She played #1 on the University of Texas varsity team and finished third in the State Collegiate Tennis Championships. Torrance competed on the professional tour and reached the top 100 while playing in qualifying events at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and French Open during the 1970s and 1980s. She began playing in USTA national senior events in the mid-eighties and was ranked #1 in USTA Women's 35 and over singles in 1986.

Torrance became heavily involved in the national senior Women's Tennis Association and served on that organization's Board of Directors in 2003-2004.

She has won numerous awards from the USPTA Texas Section, the City of Corpus Christi and the National Women's Tennis Association. She was nominated for the Texas Tennis Hall of Fame by 27 Corpus Christi tennis players.
