A three-time national singles champion, Ekner represented Denmark in 15 Federation Cup ties between 1973 and 1982, for wins in four singles and five doubles rubbers.[1]
Ekner became the first Danish woman to reach the quarter-finals of a grand slam tournament during her run at the 1978 Australian Open.[2] Competing as a main draw qualifier, Ekner defeated the sixth-seeded Cynthia Doerner and West German Heidi Eisterlehner, before falling in the quarter-finals to eventual champion Chris O'Neil.[3]
