Known for her agility and tactical prowess, she has previously won several regional doubles titles. Jauch, a 30-year-old German athlete, joined the Swiss league in 2021 and has since become a key player in mixed doubles competitions.

The Aargau Championships, established in 1923, are one of the oldest and most prestigious regional tournaments in Switzerland. The event attracts top-tier athletes from across the country and serves as a qualifier for national and international competitions.
