Andrea Jaeger

Insights

Teenage breakthrough came immediately

Jaeger’s Grand Slam career began in 1979 at age 14, and she reached the US Open round of 64 in that debut season. By 15, she was already a US Open semifinalist in 1980.

Peak years clustered from 1981 to 1983

Her strongest stretch was a three-year run: five semifinal-or-better results from 1981 through 1983, including two finals and three semifinals. That span contains 11 of her 18 total Slam appearances.

Wimbledon was her lone final without a title

Across her career, Jaeger reached two Grand Slam finals: the French Open in 1982 and Wimbledon in 1983. Wimbledon was the only final listed at age 18, while the French Open final came at 16.

French Open produced her deepest and most frequent success

Her French Open results include one final, two semifinals, one round of 64, and one round of 128. That makes it the only Slam where she reached at least the semifinal stage three times.

Her career ended with a sharp drop after the peak

After reaching the US Open quarterfinals in 1983 at age 18, her next two Slam results were both round-of-64 exits in 1985. The final two entries show a clear decline from her earlier semifinal and final level.
