Taylor Townsend (born April 16, 1996) is an American professionaltennis player. She is a formerWTA world No. 1 in doubles, achieved on 28 July 2025.[1][2] Townsend has won twomajor doubles titles, at the2024 Wimbledon Championships and the2025 Australian Open, both withKateřina Siniaková.[3] In addition, she has won eightWTA Tour titles and also reached two other major finals, the2022 US Open (withCaty McNally) and the2023 French Open (withLeylah Fernandez). Townsend has a career-high singles ranking of No. 46, achieved on 19 August 2024.
As a junior, Townsend was named theITF Junior World Champion in 2012 for finishing the year No. 1 in the girls' rankings, making her the first American to do so since 1982. It came after she won the 2012 Australian Open titles in both girls'singles anddoubles, as well as theWimbledon andUS Open doubles titles. Townsend turned professional by the end of 2012 and in 2014, she broke through on theITF Women's World Tennis Tour, after winning two titles. Her achievements ensured her top 100 singles debut in 2015.
Known as one of the WTA Tour's few players to frequently employserve-and-volley tactics in her gameplay,[4] Townsend has also won numerous career doubles titles. She first entered the top 100 in doubles in 2016, after winning eight of ten finals reached on the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour that year. Following her return to the sport in 2022 after maternity leave, she reached her first major final at the 2022 US Open. In 2023, she made her top five debut in the doubles rankings after winning twoWTA 500 titles, reaching her firstWTA 1000 final, and appearing in her second major final at the French Open.
Townsend was born inChicago to Gary and Sheila (née Jones). Her parents are both high school administrators, and her mother used to work as a banker. Sheila played Division II tennis atLincoln University in Missouri. Townsend has an older sister, Symone, who played college tennis atFlorida A&M.[5][6]
Townsend started playing tennis at the age of six, and was one of the first junior players to participate in the XS Tennis program run byKamau Murray.[7] Murray is better known for coachingSloane Stephens to a Grand Slam title. When Townsend was eight years old, she moved to Atlanta to continue training withDonald Young's father. Townsend's mother is a close friend of Donald Young Sr., as they grew up together on theSouth Side of Chicago, where they trained at the same tennis center.
At age 14, Townsend moved toBoca Raton, Florida, to join the USTA development program. When the USTA decided not to fund Townsend's expenses to compete at the2012 US Open, Murray and XS Tennis organized a fundraiser to cover nearly $1000 of the cost of the trip. After that, Townsend split time training with Murray in Chicago andZina Garrison in the Washington, D.C. area. Townsend tries to model her game after her tennis idol,Martina Navratilova.[6][8][9]
On October 14, 2020, Townsend announced via social media that she was pregnant. She gave birth to her son, Adyn Aubrey, on March 14, 2021.[10][11]

Townsend won the2012 Australian Open singles junior tournament at the age of 15 to become only the second American to ever win that title afterKim Kessaris in 1989. She also won thedoubles title at the same event to become first American to win both the singles and doubles titles at a junior Grand Slam event sinceLindsay Davenport accomplished the feat at the1992 US Open.[12] A few months later, Townsend won the Easter Bowl to help complete her rise to No. 1 in the ITF junior rankings before the end of April.[13]
Townsend continued her major success in doubles that year by winning theWimbledon girls' doubles title withEugenie Bouchard and theUS Open title withGabrielle Andrews, with whom she also partnered at the Australian Open. The only major that eluded Townsend was theFrench Open, where she lost in the semifinals while partnering with Bouchard. Additionally, she was able to win the US Open title in spite of being asked to sit out that tournament by theUSTA over fitness concerns.[14] This was only the seventh year where a player or team was able to win three out of four Grand Slam doubles titles, with senior Grand Slam tournament championsVictoria Azarenka andSloane Stephens among the others to complete this task. Townsend finished the season as the No. 1 ranked junior in the world, for which she was named the 2012 ITF Junior World Champion. She became the first American girl to hold this honor sinceGretchen Rush in 1982.[5]
She continued to play on the junior tour in 2013 and reached another Grand Slam singles final atWimbledon, this time losing toBelinda Bencic. She also competed in the USTA Junior National Championship as the No. 4 seed and was knocked out in the semifinals by No. 2,Allie Kiick.
Townsend entered her first professional-level tournament in October 2010 at the age of 14 and was able to win her first career match. She also played in the doubles event at the2011 US Open when she was 15 years old and reached the third round with her compatriotJessica Pegula. She also received a wildcard into the singles qualifying draw and defeated world No. 122,Arantxa Parra Santonja, in the first round. The following year, Townsend requested another wildcard into theUS Open and was declined because of the USTA's concerns about her fitness. The USTA receivedwidespread criticism for this decision.[12][14][15]
Townsend made herWTA Tour debut in singles at theIndian Wells Open where she defeatedLucie Hradecká for her first tour-level match win. Her next tour main-draw appearance came at theWashington Open. After Townsend lost in singles, she competed in thedoubles event withEugenie Bouchard, her doubles partner from their Wimbledon girls' doubles title the previous summer. The duo made it all the way to the final, the first career final for either player.

In back-to-back weeks in the spring, Townsend played at two clay-court events on the USTA pro circuit atCharlottesville andIndian Harbour Beach. She won both the singles and doubles titles at each of these events, her first such ITF titles. Townsend partnered withAsia Muhammad in doubles at both tournaments. With this success, she won the USTA wildcard entry into theFrench Open,[16] where Townsend made her major singles debut ranked No. 205. She defeated fellow American No. 65,Vania King, and upset the top-ranked French woman, world No. 21Alizé Cornet, to advance to the third round, in which she lost to No. 15,Carla Suárez Navarro.[17]Sloane Stephens was the only other American woman to make it that far in the tournament.
Townsend also received wildcards to make her main-draw debuts at the last two major events of the year,Wimbledon and theUS Open, but lost in the first round at each tournament. The latter loss was toSerena Williams, who went on to win the title.

Townsend broke into the top 100 at the very start of the season, after reaching the second round at theAuckland Open. With a higher ranking, she gained direct entry into theAustralian Open and lost toCaroline Wozniacki in the first round. In February, she made herFed Cup debut againstArgentina and won her only match, adead rubber where she was partnered withCoCo Vandeweghe. Townsend then fell out of the top 100 in April and began to struggle with her form, winning just two matches on the ITF Circuit the rest of the year and none at the WTA Tour level. She finished the year ranked outside of the top 300.
With a lower ranking, Townsend returned to playing ITF events almost exclusively. Her decision to switch back to her childhood coach, Donald Young sr. after the 2015 French Open eventually began to pay off as she regained her form in the spring.[18] In April, she repeated her feat from 2014 of winning both the singles and doubles titles at theClay Court Classic in Charlottesville. This again helped her win the French Open Wild Card Challenge. After partnering with Asia Muhammad just once in 2015, the previously successful doubles team recombined to win five ITF Circuit doubles titles by the end of April, including back-to-back-to-back clay court titles at Pelham,Dothan, and Charlottesville. Townsend returned to the top 200 by May and got back to No. 154, after winning her first-round match at theFrench Open. From there, her ranking steadily rose to as high as No. 131 in the world near the end of the year. She also finished the season with eight ITF Circuit doubles titles to reach a year-end doubles ranking of No. 73.
Up until the very end of the year, Townsend maintained her ranking just outside of the top 100. She reached the third round of theMiami Open as a qualifier, her best result at aPremier tier tournament to date. In the spring, Townsend had a quieter clay-court season compared to the previous year, but still won a match at theFrench Open yet again. She produced another solid performance at a premier tournament in August, making it to the second round at the2017 Cincinnati Open, after needing to qualify for the main draw. Towards the end of the season, she won both the singles and doubles events at back-to-back tournaments for the second time in her career, this time at the $25k level. In her final tournament of the year, Townsend played in theWaco Showdown and dominated the early rounds, losing a total of just two games in her first three matches. Townsend ended up winning this $80k event for the biggest title of her career. With this result, she also returned to the top 100.
In the spring, Townsend delivered an exemplary performance during the American ITF clay-court season. She reached the semifinals at two out of the four events (Indian Harbour Beach andCharlottesville) and won the title at the other two tournaments (Dothan andCharleston), both of which were $80k events. She also easily won the French Open Wild Card Challenge for the third time in her career. At the end of this stretch of events, Townsend reached a career-high ranking of No. 73 in the world.

At the2019 US Open, Townsend achieved her first victory against a top-10 player, upsetting world No. 4,Simona Halep, in a third-set tiebreaker in the second round.[20] She went one step further, defeating another Romanian,Sorana Cîrstea, to reach the fourth round for the first time in her career at a major event and as a qualifier.
At the2020 US Open, she reached the semifinals in doubles for the first time in her career at a major, partnering with Asia Muhammad.

Ranked No. 71 at theCanadian Open, she entered as a lucky loser and reached the quarterfinals for the first time at the WTA 1000 level and for the first time at a WTA Tour event in her career as well, upsetting 16th seedDayana Yastremska by retirement, local wildcardMarina Stakusic and fourth seedJeļena Ostapenko, the third biggest win in her career. Among players with three matches won to reach the quarterfinals at the tournament, onlyCaroline Wozniacki in 2014 (6) dropped fewer games than Townsend in 2024 (9) en route, in theOpen Era.[38][39][40][41] She was the first lucky loser to reach a WTA 1000 quarterfinal since the introduction of the format in 2009,[42] getting into the main draw as an injury replacement.[43] She also qualified for the main draw of theCincinnati Open[44] and defeatedCaroline Dolehide[45] and ninth seedDaria Kasatkina.

At theDubai Championships, partnering Siniaková, who was the defending champion, the pair defeated again Ostapenko and Hsieh to win their third title as a team and first at a WTA 1000. As a result, Townsend reached a new career-high ranking of world No. 2 on 24 February 2025.[54]
At the2025 French Open, Townsend andEvan King reached the mixed doubles finals, losing toSara Errani andAndrea Vavassori in straight sets.[55]
Following reaching the final at the2025 Washington DC Open withZhang Shuai, Taylor Townsend became the50th world No. 1 in doubles on 28 July 2025. By achieving this milestone, she made history by becoming the first mother on tour to reach the world No. 1 ranking in any discipline.[56][57] At the same tournament in singles, she reached the quarterfinals where she lost to eventual championLeylah Fernandez.[58][59][60]
At the2025 US Open, after winning a second-round match againstJeļena Ostapenko, Townsend and Ostapenko got into a heated argument. Townsend had not apologized for anet cord during play and Ostapenko felt "disrespected", saying Townsend had "no class" and "no education".[61][62] Townsend went on to win her next match, against fifth seedMirra Andreeva, and reached the fourth round, equaling her previous best performance at a major (when she reached the same stage at the2019 US Open). She had eight match points in her fourth-round match againstBarbora Krejčíková before losing in three sets.[63]
During the2025 Billie Jean King Cup finals inShenzhen, China, Townsend posted multiple Instagram stories sharing her distaste for Chinese cuisine at the gala dinner buffet, saying "these people are literally killing frogs".[64][65] Later, Townsend issued an apology, saying "I understand that I am so privileged, as a professional athlete, to be able to travel all around the world and experience cultural differences".[66][67][68]
Townsend has played six seasons withWorld TeamTennis, making her debut in 2013 with theSacramento Capitals. She has since played for thePhiladelphia Freedoms from 2014 to 2019, even earning the 2018 WTT Female MVP honor by having the top winning percentage in women's singles and women's doubles for the season. It was announced she will be joining thePhiladelphia Freedoms during the 2020 WTT season set to begin July 12.[69]
Townsend paired up withFabrice Martin in mixed doubles andCaroline Dolehide andSofia Kenin in women's doubles throughout the 2020 season. The Freedoms earned a No. 1 seed headed into WTT Playoffs, but ultimately fell to theNew York Empire, who would continue on to win the Championship, in the semifinal.
Townsend was asked by theUSTA to sit out ofthe 2012 US Open junior tournament because of her weight and also denied her request for a wild card for the US Openmain draw or thequalifying tournament, which she had received the year before.[12]Patrick McEnroe stated, "Our concern is her long-term health, number one, and her long-term development as a player. We have one goal in mind: For her to be playing in Arthur Ashe Stadium in the main draw and competing for major titles when it's time."[14] Townsend was shocked by the USTA's decision given that she was the top-ranked junior girl in the world.[70]
The decision was sharply criticized by players likeSerena Williams,Lindsay Davenport andMartina Navratilova.[15]Sports Illustrated wrote, "Instead of helping a promising young talent gain that confidence and experience gleaned from competing, the USTA has taken a paternalistic tack, deeming itself the arbiter and architect behind Townsend's past, present and future success. It's the arrogance of institution built on the belief that there is a tried-and-true formula to build a champion."[12]
The USTA at first refused to pay for Townsend's expenses,[14] so she paid to enterthe junior singles tournament, where she was the top seed as a result of her ranking. She won her first three matches in straight sets but was defeated in the quarterfinals byAnett Kontaveit, also in straight sets. Later, the USTA agreed to pay for Townsend's expenses as Patrick McEnroe spoke of a miscommunication.[71] Still, the USTA decision cost Townsend an opportunity to compete for a wildcard to enter the main draw of the US Open.[70]
Following the controversy, Townsend split from her USTA coaches and began training with former world No. 4, Olympic doubles gold medalist, and 1990 Wimbledon finalistZina Garrison, who continued to coach her until 2015.[72][73]
