Taylor Townsend (born April 16, 1996) is an American professional tennis player. She has been ranked as high as No. 46 in singles by the WTA on 19 August 2024, and in doubles as No. 5 on 12 June 2023. Townsend won her first Grand Slam title at the 2024 Wimbledon with Kateřina Siniaková. In addition, she has won six WTA Tour doubles titles and also reached two other major finals, the 2022 US Open (with Caty McNally) and the 2023 French Open (with Leylah Fernandez).
As a junior, Townsend was named the ITF's 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 and doubles, as well as the Wimbledon and US Open doubles titles. Townsend turned professional by the end of 2012 and in 2014, she broke through on the ITF 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 employ serve-and-volley tactics in her gameplay, 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 two WTA 500 titles, reaching her first WTA 1000 final, and appearing in her second major final at the French Open.
