Born in Cardiff but brought up in Dinas Powys by solicitor father John (Grandy) and tennis coach mother Pam (Nanny), Loosemore played on the WTA from the late 1980s until 1992. She was the youngest female British competitor at Wimbledon at age 17 in 1988. And before that played in junior Wimbledon for a number of years prior. In 1990, she played the 3rd round the International Australia (beaten by Helena Suková), her best performance in a Grand Slam event.
After tennis, Loosemore studied at the University of Oxford for a psychology degree. There she met Chad Lion-Cachet, a Dutch-national former Oxford University rugby union captain and a South African under 21 international. Loosemore also presented an HTV programme in 1991 and 1992 called 'Get Going', the show involved numerous sports activities to inspire the Welsh public to get active in their spare time. The couple married and moved to Surrey, and after the birth of their first child Samuel (Sammy)in 2000 Loosemore became a full-time mother. 'Samuel is a credit to our family' says Sarah on the Wales Online Breakfast show in 2003 just before Zach Benjamin was born. ' He's really been getting on well and looks like a budding tennis player.' The couple now have three children, the youngest of whom was born in 2006, and live in Oxford, while Loosemore still plays amateur tennis for South Wales.
