Tennis career

Before turning professional, in 1972 she won the juniors singles title at Wimbledon.[7] She won the SA doubles title with Linky Boshoff in 1973, 1975, and 1977.[8] She also played in the Maccabiah Games in Israel, winning gold medals in both the women’s doubles and the mixed doubles in the 1973 Maccabiah Games, and winning a silver medal in mixed doubles in the 1977 Maccabiah Games.[9][10][11]

In 1974 she won US Open juniors singles title.[2] She was the youngest No. 1 player in South African history.[12][13] In 1973, she won the title in Cincinnati with Pat Walkden, defeating Evonne Goolagong and Janet Young in the final.

Kloss was ranked No. 1 in the world in doubles and No. 19 in singles in 1976. That year, she won doubles titles at the US Open, the Italian Open, the US Clay Courts, the German Open, the British Hard Courts Championship, and Hilton Head, as well as the mixed doubles title at the French Open.[13] Linky Boshoff was her most frequent doubles partner.[13] In 1977 she won the Canadian and German championships and the British clay court championship.[13]
