Early life

[edit]

Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro was born in Vilagarcía de Arousa to father Juan Jesús and mother Gloria.[2] She began playing tennis at the age of five at the Club de Tenis O Rial in her hometown. At the age of 13, she moved to Alicante to train at the Ferrero Tennis Academy.[3] In 2022, she moved to Madrid to train under Javier Martí, the former coach of Paula Badosa.[4] In September 2023, she hired Roberto Ortega Olmedo as her coach.[5]

Career

[edit]

2020–2021: ITF Circuit titles

[edit]

In December 2020, Bouzas Maneiro reached her first professional singles final at the 15k Torneo Internacional de Tenis Ciudad Raqueta in Madrid, but was defeated by Conny Perrin.[6][7] The following month, in January 2021, she won her maiden singles title at a 15k event in Cairo, defeating Chantal Škamlová in the final.[8] In March 2021, she reached the final of the 15k Internationaux de Tennis Féminin in Gonesse, but lost to Marine Partaud.[9] At the 15k Open du Havre, she reached the quarterfinals, eventually losing to Léolia Jeanjean.[10] In June 2021, she won another title at a 15k event in Heraklion and reached the final of the 25k Ciudad Raqueta event in Madrid.

2022–2023: Major and United Cup debuts

[edit]

In February 2022, she won the 15k event in Villena, defeating Ashley Lahey in the final.[11] A month later, she won her second title of the year at the 15k Vilas Academy Calvià Open in Palma Nova.[12] In May, she reached the final of the 25k event in Platja d'Aro, but lost to compatriot Guiomar Maristany.[13] At the end of June, she won the bronze medal in singles and a gold medal in doubles at the Mediterranean Games. Partnering Maristany, they defeated the Maltese pair of Francesca Curmi and Elaine Genovese to clinch the medal.[14]

In 2023, she competed for Spain as a substitute at the United Cup, and was victorious on her debut over Olivia Gadecki.[15] She made her major debut at the Wimbledon Championships by qualifying for the main draw.[16]

2024: WTA 125 title and top 10 win, two major third rounds

[edit]

In March, she won her maiden WTA 125 title at the Antalya Challenger.[17] The following month, she reached the final of the Zaragoza Open, but lost to Moyuka Uchijima. She subsequently made her WTA top 100 debut on 15 April 2024, reaching a new career-high ranking of world No. 90.[18] She made her WTA 1000 main-draw debut, after qualifying for the Madrid Open where she defeated compatriot Paula Badosa in the first round for her first win at this level.[19][20]

At Wimbledon, Bouzas Maneiro reached the third round of a major for the first time in her career, after upsetting defending champion Markéta Vondroušová in straight sets,[21][22] her first top 10 win, and defeating compatriot Cristina Bucșa.[5][23] Her victory over Vondroušová marked the first time since 1994 that the defending women's Wimbledon champion was eliminated in the first round.[24] She exited the tournament after retiring due to a back injury while trailing in her round three match against eventual champion Barbora Krejčíková.[25]

She also made her debut at the Cincinnati Open when she defeated fellow lucky loser Lucia Bronzetti[26] before losing to Elina Svitolina.[27]

Bouzas Maneiro reached another major third round at the US Open with wins over Petra Martić[28] and 31st seed Katie Boulter.[29] Her run was ended by sixth seed Jessica Pegula.[30]

Wins over qualifier Jana Fett[31] and wildcard Shi Han[32] saw her make it through to the quarterfinals at the Guangzhou Open, where she lost to qualifier Caroline Dolehide.[33]

2025: Wimbledon fourth round, first WTA 1000 quarterfinal

[edit]

At the Australian Open, Bouzas defeated Sonay Kartal[34] to set up a second round meeting with world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka which she lost in straight sets.[35]

In April at the Rouen Open, she overcame Maria Sakkari,[36] and Varvara Gracheva,[37] before losing in the quarterfinals to top seed and eventual champion, Elina Svitolina.[38]

The following month, Bouzas made it through to the quarterfinals at the Morocco Open in Rabat with wins over Julia Grabher[39] and qualifier Sada Nahimana.[40] She lost in the last eight to Ajla Tomljanović.[41]

At the French Open, she defeated ninth seed Emma Navarro[42] and Robin Montgomery[43] to reach the third round, in which she lost to Hailey Baptiste.[44]

Bouzas made it into the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time thanks to the retirement due to injury of her opening opponent, Ella Seidel,[45] followed by wins over 28th seed Sofia Kenin[46] and Dayana Yastremska.[47] Her run was ended by 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova.[48]

Moving onto the North American hardcourt swing of the season at the Canadian Open, she defeated qualifier Louisa Chirico,[49] 26th seed Ashlyn Krueger,[50] qualifier Aoi Ito,[51] and Lin Zhu to reach her first WTA 1000 quarterfinal,[52] at which point she lost to wildcard entrant Victoria Mboko.[53]
