World No. 177 Glenn Joanna played at the French Open in 2023 but lost in the first qualifying round of her Grand Slam debut, and this time she will face Croatia's Petra Marcinko, who was the world's No. 1 and holds the Australian Open Junior Singles title.

Glenn Joanna met Neff that day, although she fell into turmoil at the beginning of the game and lost 3 games, but then successfully stabilized and completed the break, forced the battle line to a tie-break, scored 4 points in a row to lay the foundation for the victory, and also took the lead in the second set to break serve to seize the opportunity, and successfully won the second set in straight sets.

It is worth mentioning that this is not only the first Grand Slam victory of Glenn Joanna's career, but also the first victory of the Chinese Taipei women's player at the French Open after Liang Enshuo in 2021, when Liang Enshuo broke three consecutive levels in the qualifying round and reached the main draw of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.
