Tiffany Barker – Is She A Nationality Or Just A Tennis Player?

Advertisment

Tiffany Barker is a professional tennis player, who has won the US National Open three times and the British Open once. She is also a two-time Grand Slam finalist. Despite being forty years of age, Barker is still considered to be one of the best players of her age. However, her association with the Nationality, as well as a failed marriage in the past, have left an interesting void in her fans’ minds. Recently, a sports writer from the UK named Paul Kerkin wrote a column about Barker for the Daily Mail in an article entitled “Tiffany Barker the Nationality Scam?”

Barker was born in segregated South London, the daughter of a British Army officer. Her parents, however, had a Chinese wife. Although her exact birth date is unknown, she was said to be fifteen or sixteen when she was supposedly born. According to some sources, Barker married her first husband, Richard Cairns, in 1960, before she was sixteen years of age, a period in which she changed her name, legally, to Tiffany Barker. Although Barker did not mention a name of the man who was with her during this time, it can be assumed that the man was a junior officer in the British Army.

It is widely accepted that Barker had a very difficult time after her marriage to Cairns. She appeared to withdraw from the public eye, even working at a pub on the Cornish countryside for some time. On the day she was due to give birth to Richard Cairns’s second child, Barker met and fell in love with a young woman from East Africa. She was said to have thought that they were going out on a date, but the relationship collapsed shortly afterwards. Several years later, Barker began a relationship with a man she met in an Amsterdam disco, but they broke up soon afterwards.
