Karen Susman, born Karen Hantze in San Diego in 1942, is an American former tennis player who won the women's singles title at Wimbledon in 1962 without losing a set. She was the first player in Wimbledon history to win both the junior and the adult singles events, having taken the girls' title in 1960. With Billie Jean Moffitt, later King, she won the Wimbledon women's doubles in 1961 as the youngest team to do so at the time, and again in 1962, plus the 1964 U.S. doubles title. She reached a career high of world number four in 1962 according to Lance Tingay, and played little after the birth of her child in 1963.
