Biography

edit

Miller grew up in Florida but competed as a British player, as she held British citizenship through her father.[1]

On the professional tour, Miller reached a best ranking of 235 in the world. Her best performances on the WTA Tour were second round appearances at the British Clay Court Champs in 1995 and Birmingham in 1996, with wins over Silke Frankl and Laxmi Poruri respectively.[1] She twice received a wildcard to compete in the women's singles main draw at Wimbledon. In 1995 she lost in the first round to 10th seed Natalia Zvereva, then in 1996 was beaten in the first round by countrywoman Rachel Viollet, another American raised British player.[2]

Miller played college tennis at Duke University, earning ITA All-American honors in 2000.[3]

Now known as Megan Behan, she works as a realtor in Texas.
