Early life
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 is then sent eleven weeks a year to La Grande-Motte where she lives.
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
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 career
2022: Grand Slam debut and third round, top 150
Jeanjean made her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the 2022 French Open, after receiving a wildcard for the singles tournament.[7][8] 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.[9] 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.[10] 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.[11] As a result, she reached the top 150 for the first time in her career climbing up nearly 80 positions.
2023: Australian Open debut
On her debut at the Australian Open she entered the first Major of the year as a lucky loser.

Notes
- ↑ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Total Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 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.
