Renée Richards (born Richard Raskind August 19, 1934).
As Renée Richards, she subsequently played from 1977 to 1981, achieving a ranking in the low 20s. [2] She was ranked as high as 20th overall (in February 1979), and her highest ranking at the end of a year was 22nd (in 1977).

Fatcat is correct and it caused quite a controversy at the time because, since he/she had the body and strength of a man he was seen to have a physical advantage over the other female players. Apparently it didn't actually do her that much good.

I think it was feature in the anniversay issue of US tennis magazine. There's even a picture of the player.
