Coach
Bio	She grew up in Orinda and started to play tennis at the age of 9 at Orinda Country Club. Lynne remembers playing in national tournaments since she was 10, and ranked in the top ten as a junior player in the USTA. Lynne is a certified PTR and USPTA Elite Pro 1, member of the ITF International Coaches Commission. In August 1970, she was named to coach the all-male tennis team at St. Mary's College in Moraga, California. This was the first time a woman was named to coach a men’s NCAA team. She was also hired as coach of the Oakland Aces, a World Team Tennis franchise owned by the Oakland A’s. She also served as Director of Women’s Tennis for the USTA for 16 years. An aggressive player known for her powerful serve, Abbes retired young in 1968 before the pro tennis era, gaining more renown as a coach. With over 40 years of teaching and coaching expertise at every level, Lynne has been Director of Tennis at Berkeley Tennis Club, Sleepy Hollow Tennis Club and Moraga Country Club; Director of Women’s Tennis for the United States; coached the Fed Cup, Pan Am Games and National Teams; and was named PTR National Coach of the year. Most recently, she served as the Director of Tennis at La Quinta Resort and PGA WEST, consistently ranked one of the top tennis resorts in the United States. Currently she is serving as the new director of tennis (since June 1, 2018) for Meadow Swim and Tennis Club. She is a renowned speaker and writer for Tennis magazine as well as many other publications; Lynne also appeared on the Tennis Channel with her own academy show. Lynne is a Lamorinda native and looks forward to moving back to our community.
