People is reporting that once-WTA champ, Andrea Jaeger, is now a nun.

The former tennis star, surrounded by a gaggle of young cancer survivors, strolls the halls of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. At each room the gang stops and belts a splendidly off-key version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” In their beds, other kids giggle.

Jaeger’s worldview has changed dramatically: On. Sept. 16 the former tennis terror became, officially, Sister Andrea, an Anglican Dominican nun. Now 41, she has dedicated her life to the care of kids in need, visiting hospitals and running camps for kids with cancer.

Sister Andrea says that even when she was on the tour, there was a more spiritual soul lurking beneath. She says she always felt that “God had a plan” for her.

I’m having Sister Act flashbacks. lol.
