Ethan Quinn's Breakthrough at Roland Garros


 American qualifier Ethan Quinn, 21, is making waves at the French Open, aiming for his first Grand Slam second-week appearance. After a fortunate first-round comeback against a retiring Grigor Dimitrov—a player he admired as a child—Quinn has found new confidence.

The former college standout, who won the 2023 NCAA Singles Championship, initially struggled with the transition to professional tennis. However, a crucial intervention from good friend and top player Tommy Paul, whose coach Brad Stine also coaches Quinn, helped him find his footing. Quinn credits Paul's advice, taken with a "grain of salt," as invaluable.

This season marks a breakthrough for Quinn, highlighted by his first Masters 1000 win in Madrid and now a career-best third-round appearance at a Grand Slam, achieved by winning a grueling five-set match against Alexander Shevchenko. He also gained valuable experience pushing Carlos Alcaraz in Barcelona, meticulously studying film from that match to improve. Next, he faces Tallon Griekspoor as he strives for the second week in Paris.
