Early life

edit

Garland is half-British and half-Taiwanese. Born in Stevenage, she moved with her family to Taiwan when she was ten years old.[3]

In 2016 she won the Taiwan national U18 tennis championship.[4] By this time, Garland's parents had returned to Stevenage to look after Garland's grandparents, and took Joanna's brothers with them. Garland stayed in Kaohsiung, living with her aunt, to pursue tennis and continue her schooling, as well as competing on the ITF Junior Circuit in Asia.[5]

Career

edit

Junior

edit

Coached by Hamid Hejazi, Garland had a very successful junior career and achieved her highest junior ranking of 14 on 26 February 2018.[6][7]

Garland reached the quarterfinals of the 2018 French Open with wins over Gabriella Price, Viktoriia Dema, and Zheng Qinwen before bowing out to Leylah Fernandez.[8] She reached the third round at the 2018 Wimbledon, before losing to local player Emma Raducanu.[9][10] At the 2018 US Open, she reached the semifinals of the girls' doubles alongside Moyuka Uchijima but they lost to Coco Gauff and Caty McNally.[11]

Professional

edit

Garland defeated Katie Boulter in Thailand in October 2019 as she transitioned from junior to senior tournaments.[12] In October 2020, she beat Katie Boulter to win her first professional title, at a $15k event in Sharm El Sheikh.[13]

In August 2022, Garland won her first $25k level titles with victory at tournaments Foxhills in Surrey, England and Aldershot. With these victories she became Taiwan's highest ranked female singles player, and pushed her world ranking into the top 300.[14]

In October 2022, she won a $25k doubles title in Loughborough alongside Gabriela Knutson.[15]

In December 2022, she qualified for the WTA 125 tournament in Angers before she lost in three sets to Viktoriya Tomova.[16]
