Shawn Foltz-Emmons (born 21 December 1967) is an American former professional tennis player.

Tennis career

From Indianapolis, Foltz was a rising star in junior tennis, but her career on the professional tour was curtailed by wrist injuries. She reached a career high ranking of 55 while touring as an amateur and was runner-up at the 1984 Japan Open.

Following a series of wrist surgeries for a congenital bone disorder, she received a scholarship to the University of Indiana, and despite further injuries, she made it to the top of the collegiate tennis rankings in 1988.

She toured professionally on the WTA tour from 1989 to 1991, and she is now a psychologist living in Arizona.

Acting

Foltz starred as tennis player Missy in the 1982 film Spring Fever, with Carling Bassett.
