Jil Teichmann is a Swiss tennis player with a Barcelona accent. Born on July 15, 1997, in the Catalan capital, she grew up and learned the game there, yet she has always played for Switzerland, and says she feels Swiss. A left-hander with a heavy forehand and a two-handed backhand, she stands 1.70 m and has been coached since 2019 by former Spanish player Arantxa Parra Santonja. As a junior she reached No. 3 in the world, won the 2014 US Open girls’ doubles and took mixed doubles gold at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games.
Her rise on the main tour came in 2019, with back-to-back WTA titles in Prague and Palermo. Her best week came in August 2021 in Cincinnati: entered as a wildcard, she beat several top players, including Karolina Pliskova in the semifinals, before losing the final to world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty. In 2022 she reached the fourth round at Roland-Garros, climbed to a career-high No. 21 in July and helped Switzerland win its first Billie Jean King Cup in November.
Injuries and a loss of form then pushed her down the rankings, and she rebuilt on the WTA 125 circuit, winning Ljubljana in September 2024 and Mumbai in February 2025. 2026 has been uneven but memorable: a semifinal in Rabat in May, then a run from outside the top 200 to the fourth round of Roland-Garros, with wins over No. 2 seed Liudmila Samsonova and Karolina Muchova before a loss to Mirra Andreeva. A right leg injury kept her out of the US Open.
