In the first round of the women's singles of the 2025 Libema Open on the 10th local time, Chinese Taipei's Glenn Joanna fought hard in 2 sets and still lost to the 2019 US Open champion Canadian star Andrescu 1:6, 3:6, but she entered the women's singles main draw of the WTA Tour for the first time to learn valuable experience, and the latest world ranking is still expected to reach new highs.

Chinese Taipei's good player Glenn Joanna

The WTA 250-rated grass court tournament is taking place this week in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. Glenn Joanna, currently ranked 147 in the world, has passed two levels in a row from the qualifying round, and for the first time in her career, she has arrived on the WTA women's singles main draw stage, only to meet Andres Siku, who has reached No. 4 in the best ranking of the former Grand Slam seal, and the new generation of "Chinese Taipei First Sister" was shocked and educated in the event delayed due to the rain.

The 23-year-old Glenn Joanna, who had previously reached the second round of the main draw from the French Open, has now switched to grass on clay and advanced to the WTA for the first time, which is enough to make her strong opponent She Shixin a big boost, and the women's singles ranking is expected to continue to rise next week, and it is estimated to reach a best of around 142.
