Mallory Burdette (born January 28, 1991, in Macon, Georgia) is a retired American collegiate and professional tennis player.
Burdette was born to parents Alan and Judy Burdette in Macon, Georgia. She has two sisters, Erin and Lindsay, and a brother Andy, who all played tennis at the college-level.
She would have been a senior at Stanford University in the fall of 2012, but she gave up her final year of college eligibility to turn pro after her strong run at the 2012 US Open, where she reached the 3rd round, falling to then World No. 3 Maria Sharapova.
She announced her retirement from professional tennis in October 2014, after being inactive for over a year due to a shoulder injury.
Burdette made her debut at the 2006 US Open, as a wild card in the women's doubles event. She partnered her sister Lindsay, and was beaten by Michaëlla Krajicek and Corina Morariu in two sets.
In October, she received a wildcard to play in the qualifying draw of an ITF $25,000 tournament in Augusta, Georgia, however she lost the match to Bulgarian Svetlana Krivencheva in three tight sets. In November, she played in the qualifying of an ITF $50,000 tournament in Lawrenceville, Georgia, again as a wildcard, where she was beaten by Tetiana Luzhanska. Burdette ended the year after having competed in three events.
She was absent from the tour in 2007.
In July 2008, Mallory entered her first tournament since 2006, a ITF $10,000 event in Atlanta. For the first time, she not only qualified, but reached round two with a straight set win over Anastasia Kharchenko. She also made the quarterfinals in doubles (with sister Lindsay), losing to Mallory Cecil and Melanie Oudin.
