Jeanjean has a career-high singles ranking of world No. 138 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), achieved on 25 July 2022. She also has a career-high WTA doubles ranking of 248, reached on 18 April 2022.[3]
Jeanjean was a gifted juniors player, but suffered a serious knee injury at age 14.[4]
In 2008, Jeanjean was a quarter-finalist in the Petits As[5] and reached the final of the French U14 Championship.[6] A league coach is then seconded eleven weeks a year to La Grande-Motte where she lives.[7]
In 2009, she received a wild card 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.[8]
Jeanjean attended Baylor University (Bachelor in Sociology) and played college tennis at the University of Arkansas[9] (Bachelor in Criminal justice) as well as Lynn University (MBA in Finance).[1]
Jeanjean made her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the 2022 French Open, after receiving a wildcard for the singles main draw.[10][11] She recorded her first Grand Slam win against world No. 45, Nuria Párrizas Díaz, in the first round; she then defeated eighth-seed and former world No. 1, Karolína Plíšková, 6-2, 6-2 in the second round, her first ever victory over a player ranked in the top-10 and second in the top-50.[12] 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.[13] She was also the lowest-ranked female player to win a match at Roland Garros against a top-ten opponent since Conchita Martinez defeated Lori McNeil in 1988.[14] As a result she reached the top 150 for the first time in her career climbing up nearly 80 positions.
