In 1978, Freeman won the Australian Open Girls' Doubles title with Kathy Mantle.
In 1980, Freeman became the first Australian to win Girls' Singles title at Wimbledon. Freeman received a telegram from the Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Fraser, congratulating her on her win. The next Australian to win the Junior Girls Wimbledon title was Ashleigh Barty in 2011.
Freeman failed to capitalise on her Junior titles, losing first-round matches at the US Open, Wimbledon and the French Open in the following year. She retired from professional tennis soon after.
