She also reached one semifinal and three quarterfinals in singles. In doubles, Rae won three titles (two with Hannah James and one with Amanda Elliott) as well as reaching one more final and three semifinals, one of which was in the 2008 Wimbledon girls' doubles, partnering Jade Curtis. They lost, 6–4, 3–6, 4–6, to Polona Hercog and Jessica Moore, the sixth seeded team who went on to win the title. Rae ended her junior career with win–loss records of 21–18 in singles and 26–14 in doubles. Her career-high combined junior ranking was world No. 167, which she achieved on 23 April 2007.
