Jadwiga "Jed" Jędrzejowska (Polish pronunciation:[jadˈviɡajɛndʐɛˈjɔfska]; 15 October 1912 – 28 February 1980) was a Polish tennis player who had her main achievements during the second half of the 1930s. Because her name was difficult to pronounce for many people who did not speak Polish, she was often called by the nicknames "Jed" or "Ja-Ja".
Jędrzejowska, a baseline player with a strong forehand, reached the singles final of a Grand Slam tournament on three occasions. In 1937 she lost in three sets to Dorothy Round in the Wimbledon final and at the U.S. Championships later that year she was defeated in the final by Anita Lizana.[2] In 1939 she was a runner-up at the French Championships, losing in the final to Simonne Mathieu in straight sets.
According to A. Wallis Myers and John Olliff of The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mail, Jędrzejowska was ranked in the world top 10 from 1936 through 1939 (no rankings issued from 1940 through 1945), reaching a career high of world No. 3 in 1937.[1]
