Candy Reynolds was part of the first intercollegiate women’s tennis teams for the Mocs in the mid-1970s. She guided UTC to the first of three-straight AIAW National Championships when she earned All-American honors in 1977.
Inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 2016, Reynolds had a very successful professional career after graduating from UTC. She made it to the finals in doubles at three majors, including runners-up at the Australian Open (Ann Kiyomura) in 1980 and the French Open (Paula Smith) in 1981. She won the French Open Doubles Title with Rosalyn Fairbank in 1983.
Reynolds reached as high as No. 50 in the world in singles (May 1983). Her best singles finish at a Grand Slam tournament was a quarterfinal appearance at the Australian Open in 1980. She won 26 doubles titles overall during her career between 1980 and 1988.
