Jeanne Austin, the matriarch of a tennis-playing family that produced four professional players, including two-time U.S. Open champion Tracy Austin, has died. She was 84. She died Tuesday of heart failure at Torrance Memorial Hospital following a long illness, daughter Pam Austin said Friday. From 1962-77, Jeanne Austin managed the pro shop at the Jack Kramer Club in Rolling Hills Estates, Calif., where her five children learned to play tennis. Besides Tracy and Pam, sons Jeff and John played on the pro circuit, with all four playing at Wimbledon, while her other son Doug was a top college player. The most successful of the Austin children was Tracy, who earned the No. 1 ranking during a career closely supervised by her mother. Jeanne took her youngest child with her to the tennis club when she went to work and put Tracy into a tennis program when she was 2. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=5230249
