She has career-high WTA rankings of 219 in singles, achieved June 2017, and 237 in doubles, set in May 2013.[1] Elie has won two singles titles and six doubles titles on the ITF Circuit.[2]
Jennifer was sponsored by several companies throughout her career, including Loriet Sports, a NY-born premium activewear brand.[3]
She made her main-draw debut on the WTA Tour at the 2012 Texas Open, partnering Asia Muhammad to reach the quarterfinals of the doubles tournament. The same year, she partnered Sesil Karatantcheva at the Bell Challenge; they lost their match of the first round.
During her career, she was coached by her father, Kerner Elie, and (so in her ITF profile) she preferred clay courts.
Singles: 9 (2 titles, 7 runner–ups)
