    Fall • 2016 THE NEW ENGLAND SENIOR TENNIS FOUNDATION BULLETIN 2016 USTA New England Hall of Famers Jill Craybas Jill Craybas grew up just 20 miles away from Newport and now she’s back as a six-time WTA champion and member of the USTA New England Hall of Fame. As a junior, Jill attained a No. 1 New England ranking in the Girls 18s division and climbed to a high of 4 nationally. She continued to shine in college, winning national championships with both the University of Florida and the University of Texas, twice earning All-America honors. Craybas turned pro in 1996 and was a mainstay on the WTA tour. She competed in 45 straight Grand Slams and maintained a top- 100 ranking for 10 consecutive seasons. Her highest singles ranking was No. 39 and doubles, No. 41. Craybas also had the unique opportunity to represent her country as she was selected to the 2008 U.S. Olympic team and was a member of the Fed Cup team for five years. Wade Frame A competitive tournament player for the past 26 years, Wade Frame has achieved No. 1 New England rankings 19 times between singles and doubles. In 2014, he climbed as high as No. 19 nationally in 55 Singles and No. 5 in 55 Doubles with partner Chris Holmes. Despite his success though, he has never let tennis get in the way of family time. He’s always maintained a steady balance, and contributing to that is his competitive play with both his son Warren and daughter Alissa.
