Sports career

1984 -1997: Professional Lisbet Stuer-Lauridsen was a Singles and Doubles player, it was very difficult for her to choose one discipline, but to come to the quarterfinals in both disciplines was not enough for her and she had a lot of injuries from 1984 - 1990 because of playing two disciplines, so the last 6 years she only focused on double. This decision showed to be right, it didn't take long before she was top 1 - 4 on the world ranking and she finished her career as number 1 on the world ranking. 1978-1984: Junior success and WTA debut Lisbet’s Stuer-Lauridsen won EM under 18 years when she was under 16 years in Double and Single.
