Biography edit

Born in Warsaw, Jagieniak left Poland at the age of four for France, where her father Czesław played rugby union professionally.[1] She began playing tennis aged six and in 1993 won the 14 & under Orange Bowl title. In 1995 she was a member of the Junior Fed Cup winning French side, which included Amélie Mauresmo. She made the quarter-finals of the girls' singles at the 1996 US Open.[2]

Jagieniak, who turned professional at 16, made her grand slam main draw debut at the 1997 French Open as a wildcard and was beaten in the first round by sixth seed Arantxa Sánchez Vicario. She won three ITF singles titles and in 1999 broke into the top 200 of the world rankings. Her WTA Tour main draw appearances came mostly in her native Poland, receiving wildcards to compete in Sopot on three occasions. She made the second round of the 1999 Copa Colsanitas in Bogota. At the 2001 French Open she featured in the main draw for a second time.[3]

Finishing up on the professional tour in 2001, she moved to the United States and studied at the University of Pennsylvania. She now lives in Los Angeles and works as a tennis coach.[4]
