Patricia Lynn Bostrom (born November 25, 1951) is an American former professional tennis player.[1] She is better known as Trish Bostrom, and after tennis, she became a lawyer in Washington.[2]
Bostrom grew up in West Seattle, and she attended the University of Washington, winning the Pac-8 singles title in 1972. While at the university she was an advocate for gender equality in collegiate sports and successfully sued to be able to try out for a spot on the men's tennis team.[3]
Graduating from the University of Washington in 1972, Bostrom competed on the professional tour for the remainder of the 1970s and played five seasons of World TeamTennis. She was a women's doubles semifinalist at the Australian Open and a mixed doubles semifinalist at the French Open.
