Rising Tennis Star Joanna Garland Stuns Rivals with Breakthrough Victory—Everything You Need to Know
• Hot Trendy News
Rising Taiwanese talent Joanna Garland has earned her first-ever berth in a Grand Slam main draw, qualifying for Roland Garros 2025 after defeating Germany’s Anna-Lena Friedsam in the final round of qualifiers.
Currently ranked No. 175 in the world, the 23-year-old from Chinese Taipei will open her French Open campaign against American youngster Katie Volynets on Tuesday, 27 May, at approximately 1:30 p.m. UTC. The matchup pits two of the tour’s most promising under-25 players against each other, and search interest for “Joanna Garland vs Katie Volynets” has surged in the hours leading up to first ball.
Garland’s breakthrough has been steadily building since her junior days, when she reached No. 14 in the ITF world rankings. Over the past 18 months she has captured four ITF women’s-circuit titles and slashed her ranking by more than 140 spots, thanks to an aggressive baseline game and a newly refined serve that produced 67 aces on clay coming into Paris this season.
Her road through qualifying at Roland Garros showcased both resilience and flair. After cruising past Italian Martina Trevisan in straight sets, she clawed back from 2-5 in the decider to oust Friedsam 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, sealing victory with a forehand winner that clipped the sideline. “I kept telling myself to stay brave on every point,” Garland said in her on-court interview.
A win over Volynets would set up a potential second-round clash with No. 19 seed Madison Keys—an opportunity that could rocket Garland inside the WTA Top 150 and elevate her profile back home in Taiwan, where women’s tennis has been searching for a torchbearer since the retirement of Hsieh Su-wei.
Key storylines for fans and bettors
• Garland enters the main draw on a five-match clay-court winning streak, compiling a 20-6 record on the surface in 2025.
• Volynets owns a 3-2 career record at Roland Garros main-draw level, while Garland is making her Paris debut.
• Both players rely on early ball-striking; expect short rallies and a premium on first-serve percentage.
How to watch
The first-round showdown will stream live on Tennis Channel (U.S.) and be available via the Roland Garros digital platform worldwide. Local broadcast listings for Taiwan viewers include ELTA Sports and Chunghwa MOD.
