At the 2018 US Open, she made her Grand Slam main-draw debut and also recorded her first win on that level.^[6]

2019–20: Breakthrough, two WTA singles titles, top 100

Teichmann won her first WTA Tour singles title when she came through the qualifiers to win the Prague Open in May 2019, beating Karolína Muchová in the final. The win took her into the top 100 of the WTA rankings.^[7] In July, she reached quarterfinals of the Swiss Open, where she lost to Tamara Korpatsch.^[6] The following week, she won the Palermo International, securing her first top-10 win with a victory over Kiki Bertens in the final.^[8] In August 2020, she reached another WTA final, but lost to Jennifer Brady at the Lexington Challenger.^[9] In September, she reached the quarterfinals of the Internationaux de Strasbourg, where she lost to Elina Svitolina.^[10]

2021: First WTA 1000 final, four top-10 wins, top 50

The first two tournaments of the year were unsuccessful for Teichmann. First, she played at the Australian Open warm-up event Gippsland Trophy, where she lost to Coco Gauff in the first round.^[11] Then she played at the Australian Open but again lost to Gauff.^[12] After these losses, she made progress by getting to the quarterfinal at the Phillip Island Trophy in Melbourne. She defeated three Romanian players in a row, Mihaela Buzărnescu, Monica Niculescu^[13] and Patricia Maria Țig,^[14] right before she faced a loss against Marie Bouzková.^[15]

The following week, Teichmann advanced to her first Premier-level semifinal at Adelaide. On her way, she defeated Kristina Mladenovic, Wang Qiang and Anastasija Sevastova. Eventual champion Iga Świątek prevailed in straight sets in the semifinals.^[16]

Her next step was the WTA 1000 event in Dubai.
