The 23-year-old Glenn Joanna has been in good form recently, winning three consecutive matches from the women's singles qualifying tournament and not losing one set, and has advanced to the Grand Slam main draw stage, and is also the seventh person in the history of Chinese Taipei. This week, the WTA World Women's Singles ranking reached No. 175, and she forced a strong match against American contemporaneous Katie Volynets (Katie Volynets), who is ranked 65th, and although the international market is generally favored by her opponents, Glenn Joanna is ready to continue her recent clay touch and confidence, and take advantage of the opportunity of the first meeting between the two across the net to defeat a strong opponent to advance to the round of 64 and set a new personal record.

In addition, the French Open 32-seat mixed doubles draw was released, and the three groups of Chinese Taipei players were all drawn in the second half. Xie Shuwei and her old Polish comrade-in-arms Zielinsky once again formed an army, and the first battle against Russia's Kromachava/Sweden's Yoransson is expected to be successful. In 2024, she and Zielinski will win two Grand Slam mixed doubles titles, the Australian Open, the Wimbledon Championship, and even the French Open.

As for Zhan Haoqing and Monaco Nice, they teamed up again against Italy's third seeds Elani/Vavasori, who won the US Open last year; Wu Fangxian teamed up with the Netherlands to meet the hosts' wildcards Andrian Garfitlimo/Humbert for a Grand Slam mixed doubles debut.
