Edith Cross Jensen (née Cross; August 2, 1907 – July 15, 1983) was an American female tennis player who achieved a No. 3 national ranking in 1928, 1929 and 1930.

Career

Cross, originally from San Francisco, began to play tennis after graduating from High School in 1927.[2]

In 1930 she won the U.S. National Championships mixed doubles title with Wilmer Allison after a straight two sets victory in the final against Marjorie Morrill and Frank Shields. She reached the U.S. National Championships doubles final in 1928 and 1930 together with Anna Harper but failed to win the title on either occasion.[3] In 1930 she also reached the final of the doubles event at Wimbledon, partnering Sarah Palfrey, but the pair lost to Helen Wills and Elizabeth Ryan in straight sets.[4]

In 1928 and 1931 she won the singles title at the Pacific Coast Championships. In 1931 she won the singles title at the Canadian Championships defeating Marjory Leeming in two straight sets.

She was part of the American team that won the Wightman Cup against Great Britain 1929. Cross won her singles match against Peggy Michell and, partnering Helen Wills, lost her doubles match against Phoebe Holcroft Watson and Peggy Michell.

In 1976, she was inducted into the USTA Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame.[5]
