Penny Moor, a British tennis player, died on October 8, 2026, aged 75.
Born Penelope Moor on July 7, 1951, she was a left-handed player from Exeter who competed on the professional tour in the 1960s and 1970s. Her singles campaign at the 1973 Wimbledon Championships took her to the third round, and her best world ranking was 98.
Those results place her among the British players whose careers were recorded on the international professional circuit during tennis’s early decades of the open era. In 1980, Moor moved to North Carolina, where she remained a longtime resident. Her life thus encompassed both years competing on tour and a later, enduring home in the United States. Known also by her birth name, Penelope, she was identified in tennis records as Penny Moor. Her career details include a Wimbledon singles run, a top-100 ranking and professional competition across the 1960s and 1970s, before her move to North Carolina.
