Teodorowicz, who comes from Ruda Śląska in the south of Poland, played professionally in the 1990s.[1]

She partnered with Magdalena Mroz to win Poland a Fed Cup tie against France in her first Fed Cup campaign in 1991, winning a live doubles rubber over Mary Pierce and Nathalie Tauziat.[2] The same pair also won the decisive doubles match against Sweden in 1992 to put Poland into the World Group quarter-finals for the first time. They also teamed up together in the women's doubles at the 1992 Summer Olympics, losing in three sets to seventh seeded Argentines Mercedes Paz and Patricia Tarabini in the first round.[3] In the 1993 Fed Cup, Poland were sent to the World Group playoffs after losing to Indonesia. They were able to win the playoff against Great Britain, with Teodorowicz teaming up again with Mroz to win the deciding doubles rubber.
