Biography
MacGregor, who was known as "Cinny", was born in Torrance, California.
From 1983 to 1986, she played collegiate tennis at San Diego State University, where she was a five time All-American.[1]
She competed on the professional tour mostly as a doubles player, reaching 50 in the world. In doubles she often partnered with younger sister Cammy MacGregor and the pair made four WTA Tour finals together, including a title win in Taipei in 1987.[2] Her most notable performance in singles was a second round appearance at the 1988 Australian Open, where after beating Patricia Hy in the first round, she lost in the second round to eventual quarter-finalist Claudia Porwik, 11–13 in the deciding set. At the 1990 Australian Open, she teamed up with her sister to make the quarter-finalists of the women's doubles.
In 1996, she died of complications relating to anorexia nervosa, aged 31.[3]
