Career
Coles played professionally from 1970 to1988, playing both singles and doubles. Her best singles results in a Grand Slam tournament were at Wimbledon, where she advanced to the round of 16 in 1973 and 1975, losing both times to Margaret Court. As a doubles player, she reached the quarterfinals of many Grand Slam contests, most notably in 1975, when she and Sue Barker made the quarterfinals of all of the Grand Slam events in the same year. Coles won the women's singles title at the Swedish Open in 1973, and she and Barker won the women's doubles title there in 1974.
She made nine appearances for the British Fed Cup squad in 1974, 1975, and 1980.[http://www.fedcup.com/en/players/player/profile.aspx?playerid=20004130 Fed Cup – Player Profile]
