Léolia Jeanjean (born 14 August 1995) is a French tennis player.

Jeanjean has a career-high singles ranking of 102 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), achieved on 30 January 2023. She reached her best doubles ranking of world No. 162 on 18 March 2024.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Jeanjean was a gifted juniors player, but suffered a serious knee injury at age 14.[4] In 2008, Jeanjean was a quarterfinalist in Les Petits As and reached the final of the French U14 Championship. A league coach was then assigned to spend eleven weeks a year in La Grande-Motte, her home. In 2009, she received a wildcard at Roland Garros for the junior singles and another for the junior doubles with her partner Darja Salnikova, but she was eliminated in the first round each time. She was invited again in 2010, but did not do better in singles, while in doubles with Clothilde de Bernardi, she reached the quarterfinals.[5]

College career

[edit]

Jeanjean attended Baylor University (Bachelor in Sociology) and played college tennis at the University of Arkansas[6] (Bachelor in Criminal justice) as well as Lynn University,[1] where she graduated with an MBA in Finance in 2019.

Professional

2022: Major debut and 3rd round, top 150

[edit]

Jeanjean made her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the 2022 French Open, after receiving a wildcard for the singles tournament.[7][8] She scored her first major match win against world No. 45, Nuria Párrizas Díaz, and then defeated eighth-seed and former world No. 1, Karolína Plíšková, 6–2, 6–2 in the second round. This was her first ever victory over a player ranked in the top 10 and second in the top 50.[9][10] Ranked No. 227, she became the third-lowest ranked player to defeat a top-ten opponent in the season, following No. 409 Daria Saville's upset of Ons Jabeur in Indian Wells and No. 231 Laura Siegemund's win (via retirement) over Maria Sakkari in Stuttgart.[11] She was also the lowest ranked female player to win a match at Roland Garros against a top-ten opponent since Conchita Martínez defeated Lori McNeil in 1988.[12] As a result, she reached the top 150 for the first time in her career, climbing up nearly 80 positions.

2023: Australian Open debut

[edit]

On her debut at the Australian Open, she entered this major as a lucky loser.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009 until 2024. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
