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 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

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.

Notes

1. 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.
