Jessica Moore (born 16 August 1990) is a former professional tennis player from Australia.

Moore won two doubles titles on the WTA Tour, as well as four singles and 31 doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 27 October 2008, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 132. On 13 May 2019, she peaked at No. 52 in the WTA doubles rankings.

Playing for Australia Fed Cup team, Moore has a win–loss record of 1–2.

Tennis career

2008–2009

Moore reached the second round of the 2008 Australian Open, wherein lost to 17th seed Shahar Pe'er. This made her the youngest Australian to win a match at the Australian Open since Jelena Dokić in 1999. Moore also reached the final of the 2008 Australian Open girls' singles, defeating future world No. 1, Simona Halep, in the semifinals. In the final, she lost to Arantxa Rus. She was the first Australian to make the final in 13 years.

After recovering from a shoulder injury, Moore won both the French Open and Wimbledon junior doubles titles with Slovenia's Polona Hercog. At the final Grand Slam tournament of the year, she reached the second round of the US Open after defeating American wildcard Melanie Oudin. However, she lost in the second round to Anna-Lena Grönefeld of Germany.

Moore was awarded a wildcard into the 2009 Australian Open, after improving her ranking up 230 places to 140 in 2008. In the first round, she defeated fellow wildcard Christina McHale, before losing to 12th seed Flavia Pennetta.

2011

In February, Moore and Noppawan Lertcheewakarn reached the final of the Malaysian Open where they lost to Dinara Safina and Galina Voskoboeva. This was Moore's first WTA Tour tournament final.

She then competed in WTA qualifying events, and $100k and $50k events up until July, with a win–loss record of 10–12. After a few years of constantly being on the road, she decided to take an indefinite break and to experience what it was like to live an ordinary life.

Since 2015

Moore commenced 2015 by losing in qualifying rounds of the Sydney International and Australian Open before returning to the Australian circuit, where she made three consecutive quarterfinals in Clare, Port Pirie and Mildura (in February and March). Moore then headed to the USA and continued to play on the ITF Circuit. Following a quarterfinal result at Indian Harbour Beach, Moore's ranking re-entered the top 300.

In July 2016, she finally realized her first WTA tournament win. Partnering Varatchaya Wongteanchai, she won the Bucharest Open, defeating Alexandra Cadanțu and Katarzyna Piter in the final, in straight sets.
