Madonna Schacht (born 1940s) is an Australian former tennis player.

Tennis career[edit]

Active on tour in the 1960s, Schacht grew up in Gympie, Queensland and attended St Patrick's College.[1]

Schacht went on her first overseas tour in 1962, reaching the round of 16 at Wimbledon on her first attempt.[2]

During her career she was a three-time singles quarter-finalist at the Australian Championships and a quarter-finalist at the 1966 U.S. National Championships. Her title wins include the 1962 Irish Championships (singles) and 1965 Italian Championships (doubles).

Personal life[edit]

Schacht was involved in a high-profile custody battle in the 1970s with her former husband Dr Rudi Weber, a Monash University physicist.[3] Weber, from whom she was separated, had taken her infant son to live with him in Europe.[4] She was eventually able to regain custody after a year-long legal fight.[5]
